Katy Perry has publicly thrown her support behind Bad Bunny ahead of his historic Super Bowl LX halftime show. The “Roar” singer shared a message of encouragement just hours before he takes the world’s biggest stage. On Sunday, Perry took to X to address the Puerto Rican artist directly, writing: “You got this @sanbenito remind the world what the real American dream looks like. #SuperBowlLX.”
Perry’s message carries particular weight given her own place in Super Bowl history. Her halftime performance at Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 remains one of the most-watched and culturally referenced shows of the modern era, drawing a then-record 118.5 million viewers. From her dramatic entrance atop a towering mechanical lion to surprise appearances by Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott, the set became a benchmark for scale, spectacle, and pop ambition.
Bad Bunny steps into that lineage tonight at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. While the championship game itself promises high stakes, the halftime show marks a cultural milestone. Bad Bunny becomes the first solo male Latin artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and the first performer to deliver an entire set in Spanish.
The timing could not be more fitting. Just last week, Bad Bunny made Grammy history as Debí Tirar Más Fotos won the night’s top honor, Album of the Year.
