Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny made history a few hours ago as the first male solo Latin artist to perform the Super Bowl halftime show. His performance, entirely in Spanish, was an energetic celebration of various musical styles – from reggaeton and salsa to Latin trap – featuring guest spots from Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, and even cameos from Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Cardi B and Jessica Alba.
