Confirmed
In Short: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show won seven Emmys, breaking records and cementing the Puerto Rican superstar's status as a cultural icon.
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show won seven Primetime Emmy Awards, surpassing any previous Super Bowl Halftime Show in Emmy history. The show, which featured performances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, won in categories including directing, music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction, and camerawork.
The awards came just seven months after Bad Bunny became the first artist to win album of the year at the Grammy Awards for a Spanish-language album. His success extends beyond music, as his hosting of the Saturday Night Live season opener also won an Emmy for Outstanding Makeup for a Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Program.
Shawn Carter (Jay-Z), Desiree Perez, and Jesse Collins were among the winners as executive producers of both the Super Bowl and SNL shows. Dave Meyers also won as co-executive producer of both shows.
Bad Bunny's performance showcased Puerto Rican imagery and Latin music, reflecting his influence and the growing prominence of Latinx culture in the entertainment industry. His run shows no sign of slowing, with the artist continuing to break barriers and set new records in the world of entertainment.
