A viral clip recently made waves online, showing Bad Bunny seemingly dancing to Taylor Swift’s hit “The Fate of Ophelia” during his Estadio GNP Seguros concert. Fans quickly shared and reacted to the video, which sparked excitement and speculation about a potential collaboration. However, reports have now confirmed that the clip is an AI-generated edit, and Bad Bunny did not actually perform the song.

The AI clip spread like wildfire online, sparking everything from serious discussions to playful fan banter. Some joined the fun, posting things like, “Look at everyone singing along to the smash of Ophelia.” A different user joked about insider tips from a stadium staffer, saying, “My boyfriend is a pr******te who works in the stadium bathroom, and he confirmed it’s true.“ Naturally, speculation ran wild, with fans imagining Taylor Swift seeing it and planning a collab or even a joint tour with Bad Bunny.
Amid all the excitement, some fans quickly spotted the video as an AI edit. Comments ranged from “AI is ruining media literacy and common sense” to “knew this was fake because it’s humanly impossible to be obsessed with that song and then not do that dance.”
In the past few years, AI-made content has duped millions, sparking viral buzz before being debunked. A famous example is the 2021 deepfake of Tom Cruise doing magic tricks. The clip also showed Cruise playing golf. The videos looked insanely real, convincing tons of viewers they were authentic. However, the creator later confirmed it was all AI, crafted with next-level deepfake tech.
Fans might also recall a shocking online scam where a woman lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to someone pretending to be Kevin Costner. In a similar case, a doctored video of Keanu Reeves was used to convince two women he was the real actor, tricking them out of $200,000.
Celebrities have so many images and clips floating around that scammers can easily use AI tools to manipulate their video and audio, creating fake content that looks and sounds real.
