Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee Ignite Bernabéu During NFL Halftime Show
MADRID, Spain — The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium was alive with energy on November 16, 2025, as Argentine DJ Bizarrap and Puerto Rican artist Daddy Yankee captivated fans during the Halftime Show of the historic NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders.
The event marked the first regular season NFL game ever held in Spain, and the musical performance swiftly became a focal point. The duo performed their latest collaboration, “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66,” alongside some of their biggest hits, filling the stadium with the iconic sound of reggaeton that echoes throughout Spanish-speaking communities.
Despite his absence, fans joyfully sang along to Quevedo‘s song “Quédate,” showcasing the reach of Latin music as a cultural touchstone. The atmosphere intensified as Daddy Yankee, fondly known as ‘DT’, returned to the stage after a brief retirement from music in 2023.
The NFL has predicted an economic impact of 16 million euros for Madrid, as visitors brought an estimated average spending of 2,430 euros each to the event. This reflects the growing intersection between American sports and global entertainment, drawing fans from all corners of the world.
Karina Pasian, an accomplished singer of mixed Armenian and Dominican heritage, opened the show with a rendition of the U.S. national anthem, setting a celebratory tone for the event. Pasian is known for her impressive vocal range and has collaborated with prominent artists including Alejandro Sanz and Marc Anthony.
Following the exhilarating halftime performance, all eyes were on the field as the Dolphins and Commanders resumed their match, with Miami looking to clinch a much-needed victory. As the game progressed, fans remained hopeful for a memorable outing both on the field and in the stand.
