The show must go on, even if you slip and fall.

Just ask Bad Bunny, who did exactly that on stage during his concert Wednesday in Mexico. In videos shared by fans on social media, the singer, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, can be seen walking to the opposite side of the stage while singing his song "Efecto," when he appears to slip and fall backwards onto his backside.

The singer then takes several beats to just sit on the stage, presumably gathering himself in the process, as the fans at the concert keep singing his hit around him. He then gets back to his feet and resumes singing, while also giving a shoutout to the concertgoers.

The onstage snafu comes just two months before Bad Bunny is set to take an even bigger stage — the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show.

The news came in September after the singer had previously publicly said he would not be touring in the U.S. on his current Debí Tirar Más Fotos tour due to ICE raid concerns for his fans.**

"There were many reasons why I didn't show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate — I've performed there many times," he explained. "But there was the issue of — like, f---ing ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it's something that we were talking about and very concerned about."

All of which he referenced when announcing the Super Bowl performance, writing on X, "I've been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I'll do just one date in the United States."

Despite the singer being arguably one of the biggest musical artists in the world, with over 107 billion streams on Spotify and 49.5 million followers on Instagram, the news was met with criticism by some conservatives, including President Donald Trump, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and more.

However, Bad Bunny hilariously clapped back at the backlash while hosting *Saturday Night Live*, telling the crowd, "I'm very happy and I think everyone is happy about it. Even Fox News." The show then played a sequence of video clips from various network discussions, edited together to make them say, "Bad Bunny is my favorite musician and he should be the next president."**

The singer went on to deliver some remarks, partially in Spanish, speaking directly to "Latinos and Latinas across the world, and here, in the United States." At the conclusion, he told viewers, "And if you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn."
