Lady Gaga Thanks Bad Bunny For Inviting Her to His Super Bowl LX Halftime Show: ‘I Wouldn’t Miss It For the World’

Gaga said it was her "absolute honor" to join Benito for Sunday night's (Feb 8) joyous celebration of Puerto Rican culture and togetherness.

Nobody knew Lady Gaga was going to make a surprise appearance during Bad Bunny‘s historic, joyous Super Bowl LX halftime show on Sunday night (Feb. 8) in Santa Clara, Calif. But hours after shocking the crowd at the game and viewers at home with her salsa-fied “Die With a Smile” performance, Gaga said she wouldn’t have missed it for anything.

“It was my absolute honor to be a part of Benito’s halftime show,” wrote Gaga on Instagram early Monday morning (Feb. 9) along with a short clip of her performance, which included her crooning a completely revamped version of her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash with Bruno Mars accompanied by a cadre of horn and percussion players.
