Bad Bunny also had a couple of surprise appearances as well as, including guest performances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
One standout moment during the performance saw the rapper say: "God bless America," before he went on to list nations of Central, South and North America as dancers carried their flags.
Behind them, a billboard message read: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, held a football at the end of the segment which read in English: "Together, We Are America."
Early reports suggest Bad Bunny, who made history as the first artist to perform the halftime show entirely in Spanish, garnered an estimated 135.4 million viewers.
With a lot more eyeballs on him waiting for his next move, Bad Bunny did the unexpected and deleted all of his posts on his Instagram.
The musician, who boasts over 50 million followers, has left his fans guessing why he decided to opt for a clean slate after headlining the Super Bowl. Some commenters are hoping that he’s due to make a major announcement, however, others are speculating it may be due to backlash.
Although there has been a lot of love, as the performance marked a positive representation of the Hispanic and Latino community and how they are a part of wider American culture during a tense and tumultuous political climate in the US as Donald Trump cracks down on immigration.
One fan wrote on X: "THIS is America at its best. Unity. Diversity. People standing together.
"Bad Bunny owned the Super Bowl halftime show and brought the whole country with him.
"No hate. No division. Just culture, pride, and community. This is the America I want to live in."
Another added: "Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance was incredible! One for the history books for sure."
Someone else commented: "Bad Bunny delivered the most epic ending to the most epic Super Bowl performance. I will be watching this on repeat because it’s beautiful and true reflection of the greatness of America."
Bad Bunny’s performance has been met with some less than positive reactions, including from Trump who called it 'absolutely terrible, one of the worst' and a 'slap in the face to our country'.
Piers Morgan hit back at the president's response, writing: "Couldn’t disagree more, Mr President. I absolutely loved Bad Bunny’s halftime show. Amazing (best in Super Bowl history?) theatre/choreography, great energy, superbly confident performance, and a very welcome unifying message.
"Oh, and Spanish is 1st language for 50m+ Americans!"
