Bad Bunny has been front and center in music news this past week thanks to his blockbuster residency in San Juan and the ongoing wave his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, continues to make worldwide. The residency, running until September 14, has transformed Puerto Rico’s concert scene and become a magnet for international celebrities. Just days ago, LeBron James made headlines by showing up at Bad Bunny’s signature casita venue, causing a viral uproar as NBA chants filled the room. The excitement didn’t stop there—Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi and Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé were spotted partying alongside A-listers, making the VIP section more star-studded than anyone expected.
For those unfamiliar, the casita is set up to feel like an intimate Puerto Rican house party; it’s complete with sofas, kitchen spaces, and a bar, where fans and special guests can truly let loose. The only rules: no photos inside and to just have fun. Singer Javier Bardem and actress Penélope Cruz got in on the action, reportedly having one of the best nights of the residency. According to local designer Chrizia Feliciano, the vibe feels just like crashing a living room party with friends, especially when Bad Bunny himself drops in for a drink.
The residency hasn’t only generated buzz; it’s become an economic phenomenon, with local reports estimating it’s injected an incredible $200 million into Puerto Rico’s economy. This cultural homecoming is more than just a concert series—it’s a celebration of Puerto Rican pride and resilience at a moment when the island has seen significant population loss over the past decade.
On the musical front, Debí Tirar Más Fotos keeps dominating the streaming charts. A new beach-set visual for “WELTiTA,” a standout single from the album, dropped unexpectedly last week, giving fans a sun-soaked, intimate look at Bad Bunny’s downtime with friends. In interviews, he’s called the album a love letter to his home, and the video’s raw scenes drive home his commitment to authenticity and self-reflection.
Live shows remain the heart of Bad Bunny’s current era. The residency concerts run three hours, blending reggaeton, local genres like plena and salsa, and storytelling with a set design that pays homage to Puerto Rican icons like El Yunque National Forest. Every show feels like an endless summer, with Bad Bunny himself declaring, “Summer ended in most of the world, but we’re in PR.” Special appearances by local legends, including Ivy Queen, ensure each night is uniquely unforgettable.
On social media, fans and music commentators are calling the residency one of the most significant cultural moments in recent Puerto Rican history. Meanwhile, demand for tickets and album merchandise keeps skyrocketing, as listeners around the world want to capture a piece of the magic themselves.
