US EditionBad Bunny Brouhaha: Turning Point USA Plans Alternative Super Bowl Halftime Show
Turning Point USA plans a halftime show promoting faith, family, and freedom as a conservative alternative to the NFL’s Bad Bunny performance, amid political controversy.
- On Thursday, Turning Point USA, the conservative nonprofit co-founded by Charlie Kirk, announced it will host `The All American Halftime Show` as counterprogramming to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime on Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
- Responding to conservative outrage, Turning Point USA moved after MAGA leaders and supporters expressed fury over Bad Bunny's Spanish-language music and past criticism of Donald Trump.
- Turning Point USA officials said on social media that the organizational website asks visitors to pick music genres, including "anything in English," and Andrew Kolvet said the event will "celebrate faith, family, and freedom," adding it has drawn overwhelming responses.
- Political leaders quickly weighed in, with President Donald Trump calling the pick "absolutely ridiculous" and House Speaker Mike Johnson labeling it "a terrible decision" and preferring Lee Greenwood.
- Viewed broadly, the clash reflects the growing politicization of the Super Bowl as the National Football League courts international audiences and Bad Bunny's global popularity frames the conflict.
