Bad Bunny closed the 50th season of Saturday Night Live with performances that held more beneath the surface than the cameras could capture. On a night shaped by music and subtle gestures, the Puerto Rican artist delivered two songs that left fans interpreting lines as much as melodies.

He began with NUEVAYoL, drawn from his latest album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, a track that blends traditional Caribbean sounds with contemporary rhythm. He performed against the backdrop of an U.S. icon — the Depression-era photograph of steelworkers eating lunch on a suspended beam high above Manhattan. That image was reimagined inside Studio 8H. Applause came quickly. Still, what lingered was not the setting or the sound.

A Word Changed Everything on ‘PERFuMITO NUEVO’

It was during his second performance, PERFuMITO NUEVO, that speculation began. Accompanied by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter RaiNao, Bad Bunny altered a single lyric. Instead of “No parece leo ni escorpio,” he sang, “No parece piscis ni escorpio.”

A brief shift. But in his world, one word carries weight.

Some fans pointed to RaiNao, who has a track titled Mi Piscis. Others turned to what remains unspoken. Kendall Jenner aka Candle Jenga is a Scorpio. Bad Bunny is a Pisces. The two shared a highly public relationship, followed by a quiet distance. For an artist whose work often draws from personal history, such a revision was not dismissed as random.

The Heart Breaks and Writes Back

In an earlier interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he had been asked directly: “Did your ex break your heart?”

“Yes,” he answered, with no attempt to sidestep it. “I’ve had my heart broken many times in life. And I’ve broken hearts too. I think everyone has experienced heartbreak and regret. I’ve always liked writing about that… I have the privilege of expressing myself through songs and that helps me because I let things out.”

The lyric change now seems less like a casual substitution and more like a quiet confession, delivered with a rhythm you only catch if you listen twice.

Behind the Graffiti Walls

His performance with RaiNao unfolded in a bathroom covered in graffiti. The two singers began with playful tension, trading glances and verses, before disappearing into another space. Fans called it flirtation. Some called it performance. The internet called it something in between.

Bad Bunny never paused to explain the lyric. Nor did he comment on who it might reference. He sang, disappeared behind the wall and left the conversation to the crowd. What remains is a song slightly altered and a question carried by fans who know his silence often says more than his words.
