NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) – Today in New York City, a $2.90 subway swipe came with front-row Bad Bunny tickets.

On Monday, Bad Bunny was spotted giving a surprise performance at a New York City subway station with The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon. 

Videos posted to social media show Bad Bunny ripping off a disguise at the station – seemingly the 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Center station on Sixth Avenue – and launching into “NUEVAYoL,” a song off his new album. 

“Welcome to New York City I’m Jimmy Fallon, this is Bad Bunny, he’s got a new record out,” Fallon screams as Bad Bunny takes off a wig and passersby scream.

The band and Fallon dance as Bad Bunny launches into the song and a crowd sings along. 

After he finishes, the crowd chants for another song before Bad Bunny starts singing again.

Fallon has brought other major stars to perform at subway stations, including U2, Miley Cyrus, Green Day and Adam Levine.
