When Bad Bunny takes the stage for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, the superstar musician will be performing for a packed Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, not to mention what will likely be millions of viewers at home.

But in the trailer for his performance, which Apple Music released Friday, he’s dancing one-on-one.

In the preview, filmed entirely in Puerto Rico, as Bad Bunny starts dancing under the Flamboyant tree, a symbol of the island’s pride and identity, he’s joined one by one by people of different ethnicities, ages and genders. After these intimate dances, the camera fades out to show Bad Bunny surrounded by everyone he shared a dance with.

Apple Music, which presents the halftime show in partnership with the NFL and Roc Nation, said of the trailer, “The film serves as an open invitation, welcoming the entire world — no matter who you are or where you are from — to join Bad Bunny for his monumental Super Bowl Halftime performance and get excited for the rhythm, unity and cultural richness that only Bad Bunny can bring to the global stage.”

The NFL announced Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner in September. Though he’s a three-time Grammy winner who’s sold millions of albums, his selection received conservative backlash from President Trump, along with members of his administration and House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Trump called the selection “absolutely ridiculous” and said he’d “never heard of” the performer. His comments came after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski said ICE would be in attendance at the big game.
