BTS got the entire stadium dancing with their global superhit song 'Dynamite'. Their dance and vocals mesmerized the millions of spectators in the stands and the billions watching on TV.
BTS wasn't alone; other major global pop stars performed at this historic halftime show. Icons like the Queen of Pop Madonna, Latin dance queen Shakira, pop icon Justin Bieber, and Afrobeats star Burna Boy performed on the same stage.
Under the supervision of Chris Martin of the famous band 'Coldplay', 'The Muppets' and the renowned 'New York Philharmonic' orchestra also took part in the entire arrangement. Altogether, MetLife Stadium turned into a star-studded gala for one night.
As soon as BTS's performance ended, a tsunami hit social media. BTS fans worldwide, known as 'ARMY', flooded X and Facebook with waves of praise.
One fan, unable to contain their emotions, wrote, 'They are the true owners of this whole world!' Another wrote, 'Everything was so perfect! They were truly born on this earth to be superstars.' Yet another joked, 'Not Spain or Argentina, BTS has actually won the 2026 FIFA World Cup!'
