Popular Latin musician, Bad Bunny, brought his signature flair to Studio 8H as he closed out the milestone season 50 of ‘Saturday Night Live’ with two electrifying performances. The episode, which featured Scarlett Johansson as the host, saw Bad Bunny take the stage as the musical guest for the third time, showcasing his latest hits.
For his first set, Bad Bunny treated the audience to a performance of “Nuevayol” from his recently released album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos). The energy continued as he returned to perform “Perfumito Nuevo,” another track from the same album, accompanied by RaiNao.
Bad Bunny’s appearance on ‘SNL’ marked his third time as a musical guest on the iconic late-night show. His previous appearances include a debut in February 2021 and a later return in October 2023, where he not only performed but also took on hosting duties. Additionally, he made a memorable cameo in an episode during the pandemic, titled ‘Saturday Night Live at Home,’ and was also part of the SNL50: The Anniversary Special earlier in the year.
The multi-talented artist, known offstage as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been a recurring inspiration for SNL sketches, with cast member Marcello Hernandez impersonating him in the past. Looking ahead, Bad Bunny is gearing up for a 21-date residency in Puerto Rico titled “No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí” (“I Don’t Want to Leave Here”), with the initial shows exclusive to island residents before opening up to the public.
Following his residency, Bad Bunny is set to embark on an international stadium tour starting in late November, spanning through July 2026. The tour will take him to various countries, including Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, Japan, Spain, Portugal, and more, before culminating in Belgium.
Aside from his music career, Bad Bunny also has acting projects in the pipeline, such as an upcoming role in Darren Aronofsky’s crime drama ‘Caught Stealing’ and the highly anticipated sequel to ‘Happy Gilmore.’ As fans eagerly await his future performances and projects, ‘Saturday Night Live’ is scheduled to return later in the year on NBC.
To catch Bad Bunny live in concert, tickets can be purchased through the official channels. His dynamic stage presence and chart-topping hits promise an unforgettable experience for fans around the globe.
