Turning Point USA announced in October its own alternative halftime performance to air during Super Bowl LX. Founded by conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the nonprofit organization created The All-American Halftime Show, billed as a competing event during Bad Bunny’s official Super Bowl performance. The move came after backlash from right-wing voices criticizing the Puerto Rican superstar’s selection as the main halftime headliner.
The show emphasizes faith, family, and freedom messaging, positioning itself as an alternative entertainment choice. Four major country music artists headline the lineup, delivering what organizers describe as music for audiences who love America.

Why Is Turning Point Hosting a Rival Halftime Show?
Conservative backlash to Bad Bunny’s selection prompted Turning Point USA’s alternative event. President Donald Trump and right-wing commentators criticized the Grammy-winning Puerto Rican artist’s choice, claiming insufficient popularity and divisive messaging. Bad Bunny recently won Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammy Awards for his Spanish-language album DEBÍ TIRAR MÁS FOTOS, the first all-Spanish album winning top honor.
Turning Point USA positioned its show as authentically American entertainment featuring artists aligned with conservative values. The organization, founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk, advocates for conservative politics on high school, college, and university campuses nationwide. Tonight’s broadcast represents the organization’s largest media venture to date.
