TPUSA first announced it was holding The All American Halftime Show on October 9, 2025, less than a month after founder Charlie Kirk was murdered.
The announcement of an alternative, family-friendly show came shortly after the National Football League said that Puerto Rican rapper Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, would headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show.
As Fox News reported at the time, “The Puerto Rican superstar, who has emerged as one of the most popular recording artists since he debuted in 2016, hasn’t been well received by some NFL fans.”
Bad Bunny, a Latin trap and Reggaeton artist, “sings and raps almost entirely in Spanish,” The New York Times recently reported.
The performer is also known for wearing the occasional dress, supporting illegal immigration and promoting LGBT causes.
The popular singer told the Los Angeles Times he viewed sexuality as fluid, saying “At the end of the day, I don’t know if in 20 years I will like a man. One never knows in life. But at the moment I am heterosexual and I like women.”
In contrast, The All American Halftime Show provides more family-friendly fare.
Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet told Fox News Digital:
Kid Rock, the stage name for singer and rapper Robert James Ritchie, is known for his conservative political views. He told the outlet:
“He’s [Bad Bunny] said he’s having a dance party, wearing a dress, and singing in Spanish? Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America,” the rock, hip-hop and country singer added.
Gabby Barrett, a Christian, is a country music singer who took third place on the 16th season of American Idol in 2018. Three years later, she was named New Female Artist of the Year by the Academy of Country Music Awards and Top Female Country Artist at the Billboard Music Awards.
Award winning country rock singer Brantley Gilbert is a Christian whose album Just as I Am includes hits like “One Hell of an Amen” and “My Faith in You,” which talks about his devotion to the Lord who “saved my life.”
Lee Brice is another performer who has been nominated for and won awards from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. His song “I Don’t Dance” received the award for Single Record of the Year in 2015 from the Academy of Country Music.
The All American Halftime Show is scheduled to air around 8:00 p.m. on February 8, airing on Daily Wire+, Real America’s Voice, TBN, The National News Desk and Charge!
Viewers can also watch the show on TPUSA social media channels X, YouTube and Rumble.
