A few hours before Super Bowl LX takes place, with Bad Bunny as the halftime star, word has it that the Grammy winner won't be taking the stage alone to sing his biggest hits, but will instead have a special guest.
According to reports, it is claimed that Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio will have Ricky Martin as a guest for the halftime show; according to testimonies, the Puerto Rican was present at the final rehearsals at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Details provided by journalist Javier Ceriani indicate that the 'Bad Bunny' extended an invitation to Ricky to join him on stage to sing his biggest hits, taking advantage of the fact that he is in California and could be one of the attendees at the game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
Although this information could be confirmed at the last minute, right at the start of the show, the rumors caused social media to fill with positive comments toward the 'Livin’ la vida loca' singer.

Internet users celebrated the possibility of another Latino taking the halftime show stage, which is said to be the most controversial in history due to it taking place amidst anti-immigrant tensions in the United States and with Donald Trump's laws against Latinos being stronger and more relentless than ever.
Rumors about Ricky Martin's surprise performance emerged after he sent a letter to Bad Bunny showing his support and congratulating him for winning the Grammy in the Album of the Year category.
The Puerto Rican singer dedicated an opinion piece to him in the Puerto Rican outlet El Nuevo Día, where he described Benito's achievement as a “cultural and human victory.” Ricky highlighted that Bad Bunny won without renouncing his language, his accent, or his roots, proudly defending his identity and the immigrant community.
“Benito, brother, seeing you win three Grammys, one of them for Album of the Year, with a production entirely in Spanish, touched me deeply. Not only as an artist, but as a Puerto Rican who has walked stages around the world carrying his language, his accent, and his history,” wrote Ricky Martin.
“When one of us makes it, we all make it,” wrote Ricky Martin, confessing that seeing Bad Bunny raise the awards gave him a lump in his throat.
Among the predictions for Bad Bunny's guests at the 2026 Super Bowl, another important name for American and Latin music stands out: Cardi B. In the last few hours, there has been talk that the singer could also appear as a surprise on stage; it is worth remembering that Bad Bunny and Cardi collaborated on the song 'I Like It' alongside J Balvin.
The 2026 Super Bowl halftime show is scheduled to begin at approximately 7:30 PM (Central Mexico Time) this Sunday, February 8, 2026.
The game itself will begin at 3:30 PM (California local time), 5:30 PM Mexico time, so the halftime show is expected about two hours after the start of the game. However, the schedule may vary slightly depending on the duration and development of the first half of the game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
