Tue Oct 14 23:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Turning Point USA Announces “All-American” Super Bowl Halftime Show to Counter Bad Bunny
**NASHVILLE, TN** – Right-wing organization Turning Point USA (TPUSA) has announced it will host its own Super Bowl halftime show in 2026, dubbed “The All-American Halftime Show,” as a direct response to the NFL’s selection of Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl LX headliner. The announcement comes amidst polarizing reactions to the choice of the Puerto Rican superstar, who primarily performs in Spanish and has been critical of past U.S. immigration policies.
TPUSA, now led by Erika Kirk following the death of her husband and founder Charlie Kirk, unveiled the initiative on social media, promising a celebration of “faith, family, and freedom.” Details regarding musical artists are forthcoming, but a website dedicated to the show includes a survey asking users what genres they would like to see featured, including options like “Anything in English,” Americana, Classic Rock, Country, Hip Hop, Pop, and Worship.
The NFL’s selection of Bad Bunny has sparked controversy. While many fans have voiced their support, others, including former President Donald Trump, have expressed disapproval. Trump stated he found the choice “ridiculous.” Bad Bunny previously expressed concern about performing in the continental United States due to potential ICE raids at his concerts, a sentiment seemingly validated by a Trump administration official who stated ICE agents would be present at the upcoming Super Bowl LX.
This isn’t the first time the Super Bowl has spawned counterprogramming. Examples include the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. However, TPUSA’s “All-American Halftime Show” aims to provide a direct alternative to the official NFL entertainment, highlighting a stark cultural divide surrounding the event. Further details are expected to be released by Turning Point USA in the coming months.
