off in the cBad Bunny didn’t just shut down the Super Bowl—he nearly shut down Twitter too.
According to CBS News, more than 135 million people tuned in to watch the global superstar light up Super Bowl LX’s Halftime Show, making it one of the most-watched halftime performances ever.
But as the performance was wrapping up, fans weren’t just freaking out over the music… they were freaking out over Twitter breaking. Users across the platform were hit with blank timelines and failed refreshes as everyone rushed to post reactions in real time. The feeds went dark—but the trending topics didn’t stop climbing.
There’s been no official comment from Twitter (or X, whatever), but the meltdown happened right as Bad Bunny was closing his set. You don’t need an engineer to figure out what caused the traffic spike.
The Grammy-winning artist has also stepped in the WWE ring three times, including a wild match against Damian Priest at Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico. Between that and this halftime domination, it’s clear: Bad Bunny is built different.
Were you one of the 135 million? Did your Twitter crash while trying to tweet about it? Sound off below and let us know how you survived Bad Bunny’s digital blackout.omments and tell us how you experienced the moment.
