At the 2025 iHeart Music Awards, Bad Bunny delivered a visually commanding performance built around a glowing, architectural stage frame that pulsed with color and energy.
The design placed him elevated above a mass of dancers, contrasting his singular presence in a white fur coat with the frenetic movement below. Lighting shifted from icy blues to searing reds, sculpting the performance into two distinct acts—one ethereal and cinematic, the other raw and explosive.
As the energy reached its peak, Bad Bunny surrendered to the crowd, lifted overhead in a sea of hands while the stage erupted in red light. The performance balanced intimacy and spectacle, cementing the night as one of the most memorable moments of the show.

For the Season 50 finale of Saturday Night Live, Bad Bunny delivered two striking performances framed by cinematic stage environments.
“NUEVAYoL” reimagined the iconic 1930s photograph of steelworkers on a suspended beam, placing Bad Bunny and his ensemble high above the set in a tableau that fused nostalgia with modern swagger.
Later, “PERFuMITO NUEVO” with RaiNao unfolded inside a graffitied club bathroom—inspired by the abstract underground clubs found around puetro rico during the birth of Reggaeton music. Walls saturated with tags, mirrors glowing under cool light, and the intimacy of the space heightening the song’s charged atmosphere.
The result was a pair of performances that turned Studio 8H into living installations, pushing the visual language of SNL into new territory.
