On Sunday, February 8, Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny performed at the Super Bowl 60 halftime show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
The show featured lots of celebrity appearances, including actors Pedro Pascal and Jessica Alba. Amongst the group of celebrities dancing to Bad Bunny’s music on his Super Bowl set was Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr.
