Share this @internewscast.com

Ricky Martin became a hot topic on social media after making a surprise appearance during Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl LX halftime show. Observers were quick to remark on how youthful the singer appeared, considering his age.

The 54-year-old artist took the stage at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where he joined Bad Bunny in a rendition of “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii.”

Hailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Martin performed part of the song while seated near a plantain tree, a nod to the cover art of Bad Bunny’s album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.”

Online chatter buzzed with admiration for Martin’s fresh-faced appearance, with some noting he looked even younger than 31-year-old Bad Bunny.

One commenter expressed unfamiliarity with Bad Bunny, stating, “I haven’t heard of Bad Bunny, but my kids have.”

They added, “However, I do know Ricky Martin, and I can’t believe how he seems to have out-youthed the bunny guy.”

He thanked Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Roc Nation, the NFL and Apple Music in the statement.

The song Martin performed in part during the set Sunday, Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii, touches on the colonization of Hawaii in contrast to Puerto Rico’s as a territory overseen by the U.S., as well as ongoing gentrification.

The Grammy-winning artist also performed on a rendition of Bad Bunny’s 2022 track El Apagón, a politically-charged song about the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

Martin and Bad Bunny had previously worked together in 2018 on the track Caro from Bad Bunny’s first studio album X 100pre.
