The Super Bowl is one of the biggest annual events in sports, and on Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks secured a dominant 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in a game that was largely defined by defense.
Seattle led 9-0 at the end of a somewhat underwhelming first half in terms of scoring, but the energy picked up with a high-octane halftime performance from Grammy-winning R&B and hip-hop star Bad Bunny, who had Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco rocking.
Moments after his performance, Bad Bunny was greeted backstage by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, sharing a viral embrace with the 31-year-old musician.
