Turning Point USA announced the ‘All-American Halftime Show’ in October 2025 as direct response to Bad Bunny’s selection for the official Super Bowl LX halftime performance. The Puerto Rican superstar, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, sparked massive backlash from conservative figures who criticized his anti-Trump stance and pro-immigration advocacy.
Conservative pundit Megyn Kelly called the choice a middle finger to MAGA, while President Trump stated he’d never heard of Bad Bunny and called the selection absolutely ridiculous. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem promised ICE would be all over Super Bowl LX. Bad Bunny currently holds Spotify’s most-streamed global artist status and received a Grammy nomination for album of the year.

Since the October announcement, specifics about the event have remained virtually nonexistent. The show’s website launched with only a survey asking what music genre viewers preferred, including options like Americana, Worship, and notably, anything in English.
No venue location has been confirmed, no performer has been announced, and information remains sparse. Turning Point USA representatives suggested performers might not be announced at all, telling fans they’ll simply have to tune in to find out. A PR manager indicated multiple performers are locked in but refused to promise a live show or confirm the location.

The rap superstar recently became an unexpected ally of Turning Point USA and expressed newfound support for President Trump. Industry observers speculate she could headline against Bad Bunny, though no official confirmation exists from the organization.
“We’ll have updates next week. It is happening.”
— Andrew Kolvet, Turning Point USA Spokesperson
How to Watch if You Want to Tune In
Viewers have multiple options to watch the mysterious halftime show, with YouTube being the most accessible. The Turning Point USA YouTube channel will stream the event, along with the Charlie Kirk Show’s channel. Traditional platforms carrying the broadcast include The Daily Wire, OAN News, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Real America’s Voice, and Charge.
The show is free to watch, matching the NFL’s model. Unlike mainstream cable channels, the alternative halftime show targets right-leaning streaming platforms and digital outlets exclusively.
What Will February 8 Really Bring for Conservative Counterprogramming
As the presidential election looms and cultural battles intensify, both sides are bracing for the Super Bowl showdown on two fronts. Bad Bunny will command the official NFL stage in Santa Clara with support from Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, while Turning Point USA’s mystery performers remain unknown. Trump himself announced he won’t attend Super Bowl LX, citing the distance from Washington being too far.
Will February 8 finally reveal who Turning Point USA selected for this politically charged alternative halftime show, or will the mystery extend right up to game time?
