Bad Bunny nominated for Emmys for Super Bowl halftime show honoring the Americas

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has earned nine Emmy nominations for his electrifying Super Bowl LX halftime show, a vibrant performance that celebrated the diverse cultures of the Americas. The show, which carried the theme "¡Qué rico ser latino!" (How great it is to be Latino!), has now become the most nominated Super Bowl halftime performance in Emmy history.

Bad Bunny delivered a 13-minute spectacle on February 8 during the Super Bowl LX game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. The performance, which featured hits like "Tití me preguntó," "Yo perreo sola," and "Safaera," was performed entirely in Spanish and aimed to highlight the unity and richness of the American continent.

A particularly memorable moment saw the phrase "Together we're America" displayed as Bad Bunny acknowledged various countries from the continent, with their flags waving. This segment went viral and featured guest appearances from artists like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, underscoring a message of solidarity.

The nine nominations cover a wide range of technical and artistic achievements, including Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special, Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Variety Special. The show is also nominated for Outstanding Variety Special (Live), competing against prestigious events like the Golden Globe, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards.

Additionally, a 2025 episode of "Saturday Night Live" featuring Bad Bunny also received nominations, further highlighting the artist's significant impact on television and entertainment.
