Get hyped, everyone! Bad Bunny is about to rock the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, and it's going to be all about the vibes! The global superstar, known to his family as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is stepping away from the usual spectacle and diving deep into emotions, ready to deliver a performance straight from the heart.
In a fresh interview with Access Hollywood, Bad Bunny spilled the tea on his journey from a grocery store gig to headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. “I just want to be there,” he exclaimed with excitement, gearing up for the magic moment. “I want to feel it. I want people to watch it and enjoy it.”
Picking out the setlist? Major drama! Imagine squeezing all the bangers into a 30-minute show. “It was tough,” he admitted. “It’s like picking your favorite candy from a giant jar!” Instead of just the hits, he’s weaving a story to make us dance and celebrate. “I want people to feel happiness and joy,” he shared. “And think that everything is possible.”
Rewind to 2016, and our guy was making beats while bagging groceries. “Broke, with a lot of dreams,” he reminisced. But dreams come true! He was doing reps at the gym when the Super Bowl call came, and he kept it hush-hush. Not even his mom and dad knew until it was official! “I always keep everything secret until then,” he grinned.
Fresh off three more shiny Grammy trophies, Bad Bunny had a memorable run-in with Lady Gaga, who told him, “I love you.” How epic is that?
As for his biggest hope when the lights go down? Simple. “I’m an honest artist,” he declared. “I’m proud of who I am and where I come from. The music is universal.” And maybe most relatable of all, he added, “I’m just a normal guy that makes music.”
