The viral grass costumes that became an unforgettable part of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime show performance are now available for purchase on eBay, with sellers asking thousands of dollars for these unique pieces of pop culture history.
Iconic Costumes Hit the Market
At least two of the already infamous sugarcane grass costumes worn by backup performers during Sunday's nearly record-breaking halftime show are now listed for sale on the popular auction platform. These outfits, affectionately known as "grass bunnies" or "bush people" during the performance, instantly became one of the most memorable elements of Bad Bunny's tribute to Puerto Rican culture.
What's Included in the Packages
One listing, posted for $5,000 or best offer, includes a comprehensive package featuring a green sweatsuit in size medium-large, a balaclava or ski mask, shoulder harness, gloves, safety glasses, and the large prop arms used in the actual performance. The seller has also included an official in-ear radio used during rehearsals with surprise halftime show guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, along with an official Super Bowl LX tote bag and an NFL credential as proof of participation in the historic event.
"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," the seller wrote in their listing description.
Another listing, priced at $4,499.99 with a current bid of $1,125, offers a mix-and-match costume set that 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 an official Super Bowl LX tote bag.
"Don't miss out on a chance to own a piece of Super Bowl LX Halftime Show History. All sales final. No returns," this seller emphasized in their listing.
The Grueling Performance Details
Each costume comes with the green sweatsuit that performers wore underneath the massive getup, plus the grass-covered arms that made the humans inside of them nearly undetectable. The performers inside these costumes were forced to stand perfectly still for nearly 13 minutes during the actual halftime show.
According to Darren Rovel, founder of Cllct Media, performers inside the tree and grass costumes were paid approximately $1,300 for 70 hours of work, which included eight days of rehearsals plus the game-day performance. This works out to roughly $18.70 per hour, with performers also receiving reimbursement for travel expenses.
Physical Demands of the Role
Multiple performers have revealed on social media that the "bush people" had to meet specific physical requirements to handle the demanding costumes. They needed to be between 5-feet 7-inches and 6-feet tall with an athletic build to manage the grueling 40 to 50-pound costumes for up to five hours at a time.
Historical Context of the Performance
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show drew an impressive 128.2 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched performances in the event's history. However, it fell slightly short of Kendrick Lamar's record of 133.5 million viewers. The performance took place during the showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, which itself reached a peak audience of 137.8 million, setting a new record for U.S. television. The Seahawks ultimately won the game 29-13.
Bad Bunny made history as the first solo male Latin artist to headline the halftime show and the first to perform entirely in a language other than English. This groundbreaking performance angered some MAGA conservatives, including former President Donald Trump, who launched their own competing halftime show with MAGA-friendly artists.
"Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World," Trump raged on Truth Social approximately 30 minutes after the performance ended.
The sale of these costumes represents a unique opportunity for collectors and fans to own a tangible piece of this culturally significant performance that sparked both celebration and controversy across the nation.
