Turning Point USA plans to stage an alternative halftime performance on February 8,

the same night as the NFL championship game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.

The official Super Bowl Halftime Show features major artists including Green Day, Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, Coco Jones, and headliner Bad Bunny.

The conservative group’s event, called the “All-American Halftime Show,” was

announced following criticism from some Republicans over Bad Bunny’s selection.

Critics have labeled the Puerto Rican artist anti-Trump and objected to his Spanish-language music.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has openly

criticized Donald Trump in his songs. In Nuevayol,

he included a parody voice of Trump apologizing to immigrants and emphasizing their contributions to the United States.

Recently, Bad Bunny made history when his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos became

the first Spanish-language project to win Album of the Year at the Grammys.

In his acceptance speech, he dedicated the award to immigrants

and people who have endured loss while persevering, thanking fans and the global Latino community.

Turning Point USA confirmed that its alternative event will include performers

such as Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. The location

has not been officially announced, but the show is expected to air concurrently

with the Super Bowl halftime broadcast on multiple networks, streaming platforms, and Turning Point USA’s social media channels.

The organization framed the event as a patriotic alternative for

viewers who oppose the official lineup, highlighting traditional American music styles and English-language performances.

Donald Trump has also commented on the Super Bowl, saying he does

not plan to attend and criticizing the halftime lineup as a “terrible choice.” His remarks have further fueled political debate around the event.

This development reflects how the Super Bowl halftime show has become

a cultural and political flashpoint, with fan reactions extending far beyond music into social and ideological commentary.
