Bad Bunny rides horse into Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Here are the top moments from 'Most Wanted Tour' concert stop

On Saturday night, the King of Latin Trap summoned his inner cowboy, riding horseback into Bridgestone Arena during his "Most Wanted Tour" concert.

The Puerto Rican singer, rapper and global pop star delivered a 37-song, high energy concert in Nashville that combined elements of the fine arts, Latin pop and western culture.

Bad Bunny drew from classic trap sounds, conversational rap and reggaeton. But, he also incorporated elements of classical music, rock, bachata and soul into his show, blending genres in the trademark manner that grew him one of the biggest fanbases in the world.

Best known for songs "PERRO NEGRO," "un x100to" and "MONACO," Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the top global streaming artists.

He's won three Grammys and was a top touring artist in 2022. Bad Bunny took a break from touring extensively last year, but hit the road again this year.

In October, he released his newest album “nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana” (which translates to: "nobody knows what will happen tomorrow"), which became the most streamed album in a single day in 2023 on Spotify.

Bad Bunny's tour in support of his fifth studio album kicked off in February in Salt Lake City, UT, and will run through May, ending in Miami, FL.

Nashville fans filed into Bridgestone Arena dressed to the tour's theme, wearing western garb that leaned into the "Most Wanted" cowboy outlaw energy.

Many fans showed up in cowboy hats and boots or bandanas tied around their neck. Some opted for the sleek all-black look with fishnets. Others nodded to Bad Bunny himself, wearing backwards hats, thick chains and skinny sunglasses.

Some audience members brought Puerto Rican flags with them, waving them around in the arena.

One fan, Christian Rivera, had a small flag with him in the show.

Rivera, a Puerto Rican Nashvillian, said he felt represented at the concert.

"Someone from your culture coming out here and putting on a show instead of (only country artists), to me, that's a bigger deal," he said.

The evening's concert was a tight two-hour show split into four distinct acts. Each portion of the show had its own feel, flair and notable moments.

Much of the show included laser lights, pyrotechnics, moving platforms, bursts of fire and smoke, and a larger-than-life production that bordered on spectacle.

Here are the concert's top moments, act by act.

Act I: 'Nadie Sabe'

The show began shortly after 9 p.m. CST, with no openers hitting the stage before Bad Bunny.

But, Bad Bunny did enlist the help of an orchestra who performed a 10-minute sweeping, orchestral overture leading up to his arrival.

The arena was set up with two crescent-shaped stages separated by the audience in between, one inhabited by the orchestra and the other empty.

The show began with orange lights and smoke pouring over the orchestra as they played, wearing black suits and stunning the crowd with strings and horns.

On the other stage, Bad Bunny ascended from an under-stage platform as the crowd chanted "Benito."

He kicked off the night with "Nadie Sabe," wearing a black suit like the orchestra members, a white shirt, a bolo tie (which he later threw into the crowd), a backwards hat and a studded black scarf.

Bunny performed "Nadie Sabe," "Monaco" and "Fina" with the accompaniment of the orchestra, adding layers of instrumental harmony to his Latin trap sound.

The first portion of the show saw hits like "Hibiki," "Mr. October" and "Seda," showing Bad Bunny rapping and singing in his slurred, sensual style. He danced on stage, jumped and skipped, leaning into his pop stardom with an entourage of 18 backup dancers.

His dancers wore cowboy chaps and alternated between unchoreographed, smooth, slinking movements to highly coordinated hip-hop dance routines.

The end of Act I came with song "Baticano," where Bad Bunny descended back into the stage via the moving platform, pushed down by his backup dancers wearing ghoul masks and hooded cloaks.

Act II: Trap

Act II began with an attention-grabber.

Bad Bunny rode horseback into the arena, entering from backstage on the back of a trotting brown horse, to the surprise of fans in the arena.

Bad Bunny has been entering on horseback for the second act since the tour's kick-off; some fans have criticized his use of an animal in the show after the entrance began going viral at the end of February.

Some concert-goers have called attention to animal rights, creating a debate that discusses the ethics of animals in the music and entertainment space.

Though the horseback entrance has been widely publicized, many fans were still astonished by Benito's return to the stage.

He kicked off act two with "Telefono Nuevo," and played hits like "Pa Ti," "No Te Hagas" and "Vuelve."

Notable, in Act II, was the fact that fans were wearing light up lanyards provided by the venue, coordinated in time with Bad Bunny's stage lights.

As he sang and rapped and lights flashed around him, blinking lights twinkled from fan's lanyards around the whole arena, creating a visual display that reached far beyond just the stage. The fans were part of the decor.

The act ended with a show-stopping performance of "Thunder Y Lightning" that simulated a thunderstorm, showing flashing strobes reminiscent of lighting and bursts of smoke like storm clouds.

Act III: Piano ballads

Act III leaned into a softer side of Bad Bunny's sound.

He sat on top of a grand piano and sang "Gracias por Nada" and "Un x100to," delivering an emotive, heartfelt performance.

Here, Bad Bunny reminded his fans that he doesn't just rap, he sings in a crisp tenor tone that is so remarkably clean it sounds like natural auto-tune.

The brief Act III added depth to Bad Bunny's concert, showcasing his breadth as an artist.

Act IV: Perreo

The final act brought perreo, a reggaeton dance portion.

For the last part of the show, the backup dancers returned and a DJ joined Bad Bunny, creating a fast switch-up from the piano-backed ballads just moments earlier.

Bad Bunny performed hits "Perro Negro," "La Jumpa," "Me Porto Bonito" and the encore "Where She Goes."

The quick-paced portion of the show showcased bursts of fire and flashing lights, an arena of dancing, screaming fans and an energetic momentum that carried to the concert's final moments.

Bad Bunny told the crowd time and time again his appreciation for them and Nashville, sharing the love and gratitude he felt on this tour.

"Buenos noches," he said. "Muchas gracias, Nashville!"
