US EditionLee Greenwood Responds to Super Bowl Halftime Show Proposal
House Speaker Mike Johnson supports Lee Greenwood replacing Bad Bunny amid accusations of anti-American sentiment and ICE-related controversies, with Greenwood already set to perform at NFL events.

- Lee Greenwood, country singer, 82, said he would welcome the opportunity to perform and noted his November 3, 2025 Dallas Cowboys Monday Night Football halftime slot and past Republican ties.
- Allies echoed concerns that House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said he did not know who Bad Bunny was, while President Donald Trump criticized the selection for lacking broad appeal.
- Commentators noted it is unusual that federal leaders are focused on this rather than governance, framing the exchange as a political distraction reflecting white conservative priorities.
