Bad Bunny just snagged his first Emmy, taking home the hardware for his unbelievable performance during this past season’s Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, the one where our Seattle Seahawks were battling it out! Jazz Tangcay of Variety dropped the news on Saturday, confirming his win in the outstanding variety special (live) category.
Our Seahawks Were There for History
Seriously, this wasn’t just any win. The entire halftime show absolutely swept the Emmys, winning in seven different categories. We’re talking music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction/camerawork, and directing. Jay-Z even got an Emmy himself as an executive producer, which makes sense considering Roc Nation’s been helping pick these performers since partnering with the NFL back in 2020.
Bad Bunny’s Record-Breaking Night
This Bad Bunny show, according to Paul Grein of Billboard, is only the second Super Bowl halftime performance ever to win the top program Emmy. The first was four years ago, back in 2022, when a crew of legends like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and 50 Cent took the stage. But get this: Bad Bunny’s show absolutely blew that 2022 performance out of the water, becoming the most-awarded Super Bowl halftime show in Emmy history! That 2022 show only grabbed three Emmys, while our guy Bad Bunny hauled in seven. He’s been on the Super Bowl stage before, a guest in 2020 with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, but this time he was center stage, and he brought the house down with appearances from Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Ricky Martin, Pedro Pascal, and Karol G.
It’s pretty wild to think our beloved Seahawks were part of a Super Bowl that made *that* kind of entertainment history. With the new NFL season kicking off, you know the 12s are already hyped. Let’s get back to Lumen Field and make some more noise!
