The NFL’s decision to make Bad Bunny the halftime performer at Super Bowl 60 has been a controversial one among MAGA politicians and fans, and many non-political football fans have panned the decision due to the artist’s language and anti-American and anti-Trump views. The controversial decision prompted Turning Point USA to offer an alternative family friendly pro-America halftime show.
The Turning Point USA "All-American Halftime Show," featuring Kid Rock, airs live during the 2026 Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, around 8 p.m. ET. It can be streamed on TPUSA’s YouTube, X, and Rumble channels, or via Sinclair Broadcast Group, Daily Wire+, Real America's Voice, TBN, CHARGE!, OAN, Christian channel Trinity Broadcasting Network, and NTD.com.
Headliner Kid Rock has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump. The performer launched the "Rock the Country" concert tour in 2024. This year's lineup for shows across the U.S. also includes Blake Shelton, Jelly Roll, Miranda Lambert, Creed, Brooks & Dunn, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Nelly.
Among the several reasons MAGA is not happy with the NFL’s decision is the fact that the artist chose not to bring his sold-out world tour to the continental U.S. after his latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, shattered records, citing concerns for his fans’ safety amid intensified U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdowns, he also spoke out against ICE at the recent Grammys, saying “ICE out.” Despite Bad Bunny’s opposition, the Trump administration announced ICE would be conducting immigration enforcement at the game.
And there’s plenty more not to like about Bad Bunny, as one Spanish-speaker posting on Reddit explained:

I’m a Spanish-speaking person myself, and my issue isn’t about that at all. It’s about what his songs are actually about.
I know he’s one of the biggest artists in the world right now, and I get that people love his music. But honestly, most people who don’t speak Spanish have no idea what he’s saying. They just like the rhythm or the vibe of the music. If they really understood the lyrics, I think a lot of them would be surprised.
The truth is, a lot of his songs are extremely trashy, dirty, and very demeaning towards women. If he sang those exact same lyrics in English, I don’t think he’d be anywhere near as popular as he is now… I understand he’s putting on a show and giving people what they want, but I still can’t wrap my head around why someone whose lyrics are so openly misogynistic is being considered for something as big and mainstream as the Super Bowl halftime show.
