Bad Bunny\u2019s Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8 was a high-energy celebration of Puerto Rican culture, packed with bold visuals, guest stars, and powerful symbolism. But one unexpected detail stole the internet\u2019s attention: the \u201cgrass\u201d onstage was actually made up of real dancers dressed as plants.<\/p>\n
The 14-minute performance featured over 500 dancers and guests like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, drawing praise online\u2014along with controversy. Donald Trump criticized the show on Truth Social, calling it \u201cterrible,\u201d while Piers Morgan pushed back, praising the performance and highlighting Spanish as the first language of over 50 million Americans.<\/p>\n
One of the dancers, Andrew Athias, revealed that performers wore 50-pound grass costumes, stood nearly motionless for hours, and had to meet strict physical requirements. They also signed NDAs to keep the secret. Despite earning about $18.70 an hour, Andrew said the experience was worth it. Another dancer described the moment as emotional and unforgettable.<\/p>\n
The show opened with Tit\u00ed Me Pregunt\u00f3<\/em> and showcased scenes inspired by Puerto Rican life, ending with Bad Bunny honoring countries across the Americas and giving a heartfelt shoutout to Puerto Rico. With over 135 million viewers watching, the performance became one of the most talked-about halftime shows in Super Bowl history.<\/p>\n A brief viral moment involving a child onstage sparked rumors online, but reports later confirmed it wasn\u2019t political\u2014just a message encouraging kids to dream big.<\/p>\n
