Grammy-winning Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny stole the spotlight at the 60th Super Bowl halftime show, turning it into a vibrant celebration of Puerto Rican culture. Beyond his music, he successfully reflected his heritage through visuals, costumes, and storytelling. One standout element was the pava hat he wore, sparking curiosity among fans worldwide about its significance and connection to Puerto Rico. The pava is a handwoven straw hat traditionally worn by j&iacute;baros, the island&rsquo;s countryside farmers. Bad Bunny began his Super Bowl performance surrounded by sugarcane fields and performers wearing the hat, symbolizing resilience, rural identity, and Puerto Rico&rsquo;s agricultural history.

The pava visually connects him to his roots and the working-class heritage of the island. By wearing it on major stages, he celebrates national pride and draws global attention to Puerto Rican traditions. At the 2025 Met Gala, Bad Bunny wore a modernized pava paired with an espresso brown suit, and he continued the tradition at the Super Bowl halftime show, reinforcing the hat&rsquo;s role as a cultural emblem.
