The viral sugarcane costumes worn by backup dancers during Bad Bunny's historic Super Bowl halftime show have now hit the online marketplace eBay, with sellers asking for thousands of dollars for these iconic pieces of pop culture memorabilia.
Grass Bunny Costumes Become Instant Collectibles
At least two of the now-famous "grass bunny" costumes from Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime performance are currently listed for sale on the popular auction platform. These outfits, which featured massive grass-covered arms that completely obscured the performers inside, became one of the most memorable visual elements of the Puerto Rican artist's cultural tribute during the nearly record-breaking show.
What the $5,000 Package Includes
One particularly comprehensive listing offers the complete ensemble for $5,000 or best offer. The package contains the green sweatsuit worn underneath the elaborate grass costume in medium-large sizing, along with a balaclava ski mask, shoulder harness, gloves, safety glasses, and the distinctive large prop arms that made the dancers nearly undetectable during the performance.
Additional exclusive items include an official in-ear radio used during rehearsals with surprise halftime guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, plus an official Super Bowl LX tote bag and NFL credential that serves as proof of participation in the monumental event.
Financial Motivations Behind the Sales
The seller of the $5,000 costume package explained their personal circumstances in the listing description: "All in all, I really do not want to part with this, but you'll be helping me pay off my student loans and will be helping me with my grandparents' medical! God bless America and God bless Bad Bunny."
A second listing, priced at $4,499.99 with a current bid of $1,125 at the time of reporting, offers a mix-and-match costume set. This includes large sweatpants, a small sweatshirt, a numbered cast-member arm strap, an in-ear radio with earpiece, a balaclava, grass shoulder and forearm pads, and the official Super Bowl LX tote bag. The seller explicitly states: "All sales final. No returns."
Historic Context of the Performance
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show achieved remarkable viewership numbers, drawing 128.2 million viewers to become one of the most-watched performances in the event's extensive history. While this fell just short of Kendrick Lamar's record of 133.5 million viewers, the cultural significance of Bad Bunny's performance cannot be overstated.
The Puerto Rican superstar made history as the first solo male Latin artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and the first performer to deliver an entire set in a language other than English. His performance occurred during the NFL championship game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, which itself reached a peak audience of 137.8 million viewers, setting a new record for U.S. television broadcasts.
The Performance's Demanding Nature
During the actual halftime show, the dancers inside these elaborate grass costumes faced particularly challenging conditions. They were required to stand perfectly still for nearly thirteen consecutive minutes as part of Bad Bunny's tribute to Puerto Rican culture, creating a striking visual tableau that captivated millions of viewers worldwide.
The costumes themselves consisted of the green sweatsuit base layer worn by performers underneath the massive grass exterior, plus the grass-covered arms that completely concealed the humans inside. This design choice created the illusion of animated sugarcane plants moving across the field, contributing to the performance's unique aesthetic and cultural resonance.
