US EditionThe Number of Americans Who Boycotted Bad Bunny's Latin Show to See Kid Rock's
Turning Point USA streamed a conservative halftime show with nearly 19 million views, promoting faith, family, and freedom as an alternative to Bad Bunny's performance.
- Turning Point USA organized and streamed an 'All‑American Halftime Show' headlined by Kid Rock during Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, across social and partner platforms.
- Turning Point USA said it was responding to the NFL's Bad Bunny booking, launching its October-announced show amid months of debate and criticism from President Donald Trump and conservatives.
- Nearly 19 million viewers watched TPUSA's YouTube stream by early Monday, with about 1.9 million waiting viewers and rising to 6 million across platforms, plus 3 million on X before removal.
- Kid Rock faced criticism for apparent lip-syncing and a late stage entrance, while Turning Point USA hailed the broadcast a `massive success` and confirmed another halftime show in 2027.
- The episode showed how the Super Bowl halftime can become a political flashpoint despite the event's massive audience, with competing streams representing a small but vocal segment, as the controversy renewed scrutiny of halftime partnerships.
