During Turning Point USA’s All-American Halftime Show, Kid Rock closed with a verse urging Americans to dust off their Bibles and turn to Jesus, ending with Isaiah 6:8. The moment framed a faith-forward message as a counterpoint to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl act, but it’s tempered by Kid Rock’s long history of controversies that complicate the message.
Kid Rock’s 35-minute All-American Halftime Show at Super Bowl LX was notably low on politics and largely pre-recorded, mixing a retro country vibe with a few on-mic remarks; the set featured Brantley Gilbert, Gabby Barrett and Lee Brice before Kid Rock closed with “Till You Can’t,” including a spoken verse and a montage of TPUSA imagery. Social attention focused more on lip-sync than mic moments, and TPUSA posted an alternate feed that drew millions online, though overall cross-platform viewership details remained unclear.
Turning Point USA is staging an alternative Super Bowl halftime performance called the All American Halftime Show, airing at 8 p.m. ET on Feb. 8 and headlined by Kid Rock with Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. After initially planning to stream on social channels, the group directed viewers to YouTube and Rumble, with additional airings on TBN, Daily Wire+, OAN News, and The National Desk, as a counter-event to Bad Bunny’s official halftime show. The piece also notes the rivalry’s political backdrop and provides context on Bad Bunny’s Spanish-language performance and the NFL’s handling of the spectacle.
Brantley Gilbert addressed questions about his involvement in Turning Point USA’s All-American Halftime Show for Super Bowl LX, saying he isn’t performing to be divisive and highlighting his faith, family, and country. The lineup also includes Kid Rock, Gabby Barrett and Lee Brice, and the TPUSA-produced halftime event will stream on TPUSA channels, The Daily Wire, and TBN as an alternative to Bad Bunny’s official Super Bowl halftime show.
Gabby Barrett, an American Idol alum, faces online backlash after it was announced she will perform at Turning Point USA's All-American Halftime Show, a conservative alternative to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime. TPUSA says the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. The show will air via Sinclair Broadcast's OTT channel and other platforms, with performers including Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert and Lee Brice.
Turning Point USA plans an All-American Halftime Show as a satirical counter-program to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, featuring a spoof lineup and a mix of real and fake streaming platforms, with late-night hosts poking fun at the concept.
