"Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, came, saw and conquered with his halftime Super Bowl performance yesterday. The Puerto Rican megastar thrilled most viewers with his Spanish-language extravaganza at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Bad Bunny had long been an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. For many queer viewers, his halftime show included some particular highlights. Namely, guest appearances from fellow Puerto Rican star Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga."
"Afterward, Martin took to Instagram to thank Bad Bunny for inviting him to be part of the show. Sharing a photo of himself with Benito and Lady Gaga, Martin said, "I need several hours to process the tsunami of emotions I'm feeling." In a video clip on the same Instagram post, he and Bad Bunny hug each other. The younger star clearly feels indebted to Martin and the path he blazed to international stardom a quarter of a century ago."
