Turning Point USA, the right-wing political group founded by late conservative figure Charlie Kirk, has announced plans to host its own Super Bowl halftime show in response to Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny being announced as the headline performer, per HuffPost.
The new event, dubbed "The All-American Halftime Show: Celebrating Faith, Family & Freedom," seeks to offer a conservative alternative to the traditional show amid MAGA backlash over Bad Bunny’s upcoming performance.
In a survey on its website, Turning Point USA is gauging potential viewers' musical preferences, including "Classic Rock,” "Worship," and "Anything in English."
Many right-wing figures, including President Donald Trump, have voiced criticism over Bad Bunny’s upcoming performance. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem suggested that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents should target Bad Bunny fans at the game. During a recent appearance on right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson's show, Corey Lewandowski, a senior adviser at Trump's Department of Homeland Security, also warned of ICE's presence at Super Bowl LX.
“There is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else,” Lewandowski said.
“We will find you. We will apprehend you. We will put you in a detention facility, and we will deport you,” he continued. “That is a very real situation under this administration, which is completely contrary to how it used to be.”
The Super Bowl is set to take place on Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Details about Turning Point USA's alternative halftime show remain unknown.
