When Lady Gaga appeared during Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, many people were confused.
But this moment was not random.
There was a great deal of symbolism woven into the performance. From the visuals on the field, to the music arrangement, to Gaga stepping into a Puerto Rican musical space on the biggest American stage, every detail was intentional. Even the styling and the messaging throughout the show carried meaning.
This was about culture, inclusion, and challenging expectations.
I break down the full reasoning and symbolism in the video below.

@marthamarialopeztv Why did Bad Bunny bring out Lady Gaga at the Super Bowl Halftime Show? This was one of those moments that had people scratching their heads. But it wasn’t random. From the way Monaco sets the tone, to the wedding scene on the field, to Lady Gaga stepping in as the wedding singer backed by a Puerto Rican band, Bad Bunny was telling a story visually. This wasn’t about her being Latina or not. It was about intention, culture, and who gets to step into whose world on the biggest American stage. Once you actually look at the details, it starts to click. What did you think when Lady Gaga appeared? Did this breakdown change how you saw that moment?
