“They were like, ‘Why don’t we send one to Bad Bunny?” Hamilton said onn Monday, via Variety. “Lots of people send wedding invitations to him, so why not.’
“Bad Bunny’s office reached out, and they thought, ‘Amazing, maybe we’ll get a signed photo.’ But they were invited to a Zoom call, which they thought was kind of weird.”
Bad Bunny joined the Zoom call and invited Aparicio and Wolter to be part of the halftime show. Hamilton also revealed that the couple previously planned to play the rapper’s song, “Baile Inolvidable,” for their first dance.
“An overprinting of wedding invitations led to a series of events where they wound up getting married during Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl!” Hamilton said. “And so, they went from planning to play it at their wedding to being at the Super Bowl with him live, singing it.”
Bad Bunny performed some of his biggest hits. However, many NFL fans were not impressed with his performance and trolled him on social media.
Bad Bunny left his Grammy to a kid during Super Bowl halftime performance
Bad Bunny gifted a kid named Liam his Grammy Award during his Super Bowl halftime show performance. However, Hamish Hamilton revealed that it was just a replica.
“I actually don’t know if he took it back,” Hamilton said. “Knowing him, he might have just left it with the kid, honestly.”
While Bad Bunny was heavily criticized, many fans and celebrities appreciated him. Former NFL defensive end J.J. Watt praised the rapper even though he didn’t “understand a single word” of his songs.
