Lady Gaga on Bad Bunny’s “Meaningful” Super Bowl Halftime Show

Lady Gaga has nothing but gratitude for Bad Bunny.

Hours after the “Abracadabra” singer made a surprise appearance in his 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show on Feb. 8, she expressed her appreciation for the Puerto Rican rapper (born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) for allowing her to play a role in his historic performance.

“Thank you Benito for including me in this powerful, important, and meaningful performance,” she wrote in an Instagram post on Feb. 9. “I am so humbled to be a part of this moment. It’s all the more special because it was with you and your beautiful heart and music.”

The Star Is Born actress—who sang a Latin-fusion version of her and Bruno Mars‘ song “Die With a Smile”—also highlighted other performers in the show, including Ricky Martin, as well as her style team.

“All my love to Benito, Ricky and the whole cast,” she wrote. “Thank you to @chloeandchenelle and @luar for my beautiful styling and fashion. All of your talent and love made that beautiful dress come to life.”
