On Super Bowl Sunday, February 8, Bad Bunny headlined the halftime show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, making history as the first Super Bowl halftime show performed almost entirely in Spanish by a solo Latino male headliner.

The 13-minute show was a tribute to the singer’s Puerto Rican culture and served as a symbolic message of continental unity, featuring several Puerto Rican icons, including sugarcane fields, traditional mountain farmers, and a colorful casita.

The Grammy winner was also seen holding a Puerto Rican flag with the light-blue triangle, which is reportedly a symbol of the independence movement, and spiking a football inscribed with “Together, We Are America,” as part of his performance.

He also brought out several guest stars, including Lady Gaga, who performed a Latin-inspired version of her song Die With A Smile , as well as Ricky Martin, Karol G, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, and others.

While the show was historic , the 31-year-old unexpectedly sent the internet into a frenzy of wild theories and sparked heated debate among fans after a viral video of his exit from the stadium began circulating online.

In the clip, which was posted on X by a popular user with the handle @matttttt187 and has garnered over 11.1 million views so far, Bad Bunny appeared to look over his shoulder multiple times, wearing a visibly strained expression.

Despite briefly smiling and interacting with fans and paparazzi, the Me Porto Bonito singer was later caught with a sudden change in expression, again looking behind him before quickly making his exit.

The post was captioned, “New video of Bad Bunny looking visibly SHOOK as he’s trying to leave the Super Bowl. Pausing to look back several times with visible concern in his eyes. You’d swear he saw The Devil himself and was terrified.”

The poster added, “Afterwards he also abruptly deleted his entire Instagram account, with 51 million followers. Well, the first points scored in the game were a 33-yard field goal…so there’s that.”

Reportedly, Bad Bunny completely wiped his Instagram account just hours after his Super Bowl performance, deleting his profile picture and even unfollowing everyone he had previously followed on the platform.

He only left a link to his 2026 Grammy-winning album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos , in his bio.

In light of this conspiracy theory, one viewer wrote, “He looked nervous throughout the whole thing. S*cks when you make a deal with Satan and you don’t follow through with your end… NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING! enjoy the show.”

A second user in agreement added, “Right?!!! I pointed it out how scared he looked. Something is definitely wrong because he didn’t look comfortable.”

The original poster’s 33-yard claim centers on the fact that the first points of the game were scored via a 33-yard field goal by Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers.

According to some religious beliefs, the number 33 is often associated in Christianity with the age of Jesus Christ at the time of his crucifixion and resurrection.

It is also sometimes viewed as representing spiritual maturity, major transitions, and the closing of a chapter before a new beginning.
