Social media platform X suffered a major outage across the United States right as Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny launched into his Super Bowl halftime performance.

Timing of the Blackout

The disruption struck around 5 p.m. local time at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, coinciding precisely with Bad Bunny—real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—stepping onto the stage. This occurred during the NFL championship game featuring the Seattle Seahawks versus the New England Patriots.

Scale of the Outage

Downdetector data reveals over 25,000 user reports of the crash on Sunday evening. More than 75 percent stemmed from the mobile app, while 23 percent involved attempts to access the website. The issues affected users coast to coast, from New York to Los Angeles.

Officials have yet to confirm the exact cause, but the timing has fueled speculation among users eager to share reactions to the high-energy show. Updates on service restoration are expected shortly as this remains a developing story.
