The Super Bowl LX halftime show, headlined by Bad Bunny on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, left several moments that went viral on social networks.
Among them, a brief scene featuring two dancers stood out, generating wide digital circulation and comments linked to LGBTIQ representation.
Approximately four minutes after the start of the show, the cameras focused on Dan Santiago and Igor Faria while they danced inside the open door of a van that was part of the set.
Moments later, the shot returned to the 31-year-old Puerto Rican artist, who began to perform “EoO,” a song included in his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos.The sequence, which lasted just a few seconds, was quickly shared by users on different platforms.
Various accounts linked to the LGBTQ community replicated the fragment of the show.Actress Louisa Jacobson, a member of the cast of The Gilded Age, posted the video on Instagram along with the word “Important” and tagged alcantante.
For its part, the meme account DrinksForGayz wrote: “He really said: ‘this is for you,’” accompanying the message with a clip of the moment.
The halftime show was part of the match between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.The presentation included a staging with multiple dancers, costume changes and special appearances, in a production that combined music, choreography and large-scale visual elements.
Dan Santiago, a 30-year-old dancer from New York, explained that the scene was one of several choreographies designed with couples distributed throughout the show.
Santiago had previously worked with Bad Bunny, including a participation on Saturday Night Live.Speaking to People magazine, he noted that there were “many intentionally fluid couples in the show, reflecting the sense of unity that was sought to be conveyed.”
According to him, the show was conceived as a celebration that integrates different cultures and communities.“That moment felt like a silent statement within the group,” he said.
He also expressed that it was meaningful for him to represent his culture and the Latino community on a global stage.
Regarding the impact on the internet, Santiago commented that he feels grateful to be part of the conversation generated after the event.He further noted that both he and Faria consider themselves heterosexual, but that they felt honored to represent the LGBTQ community.
“It wasn’t about interpreting queer identity, but about freedom and representing a community that deserves to be seen,” he explained.
On February 10, Santiago shared the clip on his own Instagram account and wrote, “I don’t have many words right now.”In another publication, he stated that he feels proud to work with an artist who, as he expressed, uses love as a central message.
He also mentioned the creative team responsible for the staging, including choreographers Charm La’Donna, Karina Ortiz, Valerie Lemus, Melany Mercedes and Jovanni Soto, as well as stunt choreographer Kiani Del Valle and creative directors Harriet Cuddeford and Liam Lunniss.
Igor Faria also published the fragment on his Instagram account on February 11.In the message that accompanied the video, he wrote that he felt honored to represent a community that “dances with truth, courage and pride.”
The text included an overlay that read: “POV: You’re one of the truck guys at Bad Bunny’s halftime show.”
