Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 2026 halftime show, joining the Puerto Rican artist on stage in a moment that quickly became one of the night’s most talked-about highlights.

The appearance took place midway through the performance on Sunday, February 8, when the 16-time Grammy Award winner emerged to perform Die With a Smile, her 2024 collaboration with Bruno Mars. For the halftime show, the song was reworked with a full live band and performed solo by Gaga.

Gaga appeared in a baby blue gown accented with red details, while Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, later returned to the stage to dance alongside her, adding to the theatrical sequence.

The cameo marked another Super Bowl milestone for Gaga, who previously headlined the halftime show in 2017 and made a surprise pre-game appearance at Super Bowl 2025.

Bad Bunny’s halftime set also featured several other high-profile appearances. Ricky Martin joined the performance, while celebrities including Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal and Cardi B were seen dancing on the field during the show.

The Super Bowl halftime lineup had drawn attention ahead of the event, following public criticism from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who had described the selection of performers as “terrible.”

Despite the controversy, the halftime show stood out as a defining moment of Super Bowl 2026, blending music, celebrity and spectacle.
