The Benito Bowl. The Bad Bunny Bowl. The Super Bunny Bowl. Some of us aren’t just here for the touchdowns this year, as this is one of the most highly anticipated halftime shows in recent memory.
That’s not to say it’s without controversy…because it’s not. Whether you’re here for the passing yards or the perreo, we’ve got you for the halftime betting props.

Bad Bunny’s Opening Song
“Tità Me Preguntó” starts with a series of six epic notes, and I can just see the people screaming after hearing just the first one. I think the favorite from his 2022 album, “Un Verano Sin Ti,” is the one to start the party.
Because, as he mentioned in his most recent Apple Music Halftime Show press conference, his goal is to throw a party on stage to get everyone dancing.
Will he go big right off the bat and bring in some star power for the first track?
Who Will Appear During the Halftime Show
Bad Bunny is all about Puerto Rican pride and highlighting the unique culture of his beloved island, so much so that he refused to have any concerts on the mainland United States for his “Debà Tirar Más Fotos” world tour, choosing instead to bring revenue to Puerto Rico.
He is, for sure, going to highlight at least one Puerto Rican musical artist as his guest appearance. My bet is he shares the stage with Rauw Alejandro, who is from the capital city of San Juan.

But if I get two guesses, I think Cardi B also pops in. The Dominican and Trinidadian Bronx queen is already rumored to be attending the Big Game to support her partner, Stefon Diggs, so I think we get the Bad Bunny X Cardi B Experience. I like it like that.
How Long Will the Halftime Show Last?
Under 15 minutes. Definitely under.
Usher was 15 minutes flat in 2024 – that’s the longest we’ve had over the past five Super Bowls, and I don’t think there’s a chance we hit that number tonight.
In his last press conference, Bad Bunny admitted that his nerves about this 13-minute performance woke him up at 4 a.m. He specifically mentioned a 13-minute show.
This tells us that he’s working hard to prepare and stick to his plan, potentially as a way to calm his nerves.
Total Number of Songs
Plot twist: Over. Give me the over 11.5 songs despite me going under the total length of the performance.

He has had 15 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and his impressive resume with only 13 minutes is not a lot of time to showcase this monumental achievement.
I think we see 12 of his hits, giving us 65 seconds for each one. A taste of each song will keep the party moving and the people dancing. And that’s what he says he wants for this stage.
Will Bad Bunny Perform an Unreleased Song?
No. Bad Bunny wants to party and not slow down the vibes. This show is going to be a homage to his musical success, the fans who supported it, and his pride in his island.
No unreleased songs on this stage, but it’s not out of the question for the rest of the concerts on his “Debà Tirar Más Fotos” world tour.
What Headwear Will Bad Bunny Wear for His First Song?
As shown on the cover of this article, the pava hat is a symbol of Puerto Rican identity and pride in the traditional and rural roots of the island. Bad Bunny has spotlighted this hat in all of his Super Bowl halftime promotional materials. But do we see it tonight?
That’s a yes/and. He will wear it when he performs his hits from his most recent “Debà Tirar Más Fotos” album, but we don’t think he will start the show with these most recent hits.

Will we see it? Yes. Will he start the show wearing it? No. I think we see a new and different Bad Bunny-themed hat to start the show, which will obviously get sold out in 0.43 seconds.
Regardless of the props, this show is going to be a baile inolvidable.
