3S.Turning Point USA is putting on their own halftime show the same day as Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show in hopes to outperform viewership for those that wanted an American singer
In a bold move that’s already lighting up social media, Turning Point USA has announced it will host its own halftime show on the same day as Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance — aiming to capture viewers who say they’d prefer an “American singer” headlining the big game.
The announcement, made late Tuesday, instantly sparked debate across the internet. Supporters of the conservative youth organization say the move is about “bringing back American culture to America’s game,” while critics see it as another attempt to politicize sports and entertainment.
Turning Point USA hinted that their halftime show will feature “real American music, patriotism, and values that unite fans from coast to coast.” Though the full lineup hasn’t been revealed yet, early reports suggest several country artists and classic rock performers are in talks to appear — a clear contrast to Bad Bunny’s high-energy Latin and reggaeton style.
Bad Bunny, meanwhile, is gearing up for one of the most anticipated Super Bowl shows in years. The Puerto Rican megastar stirred controversy last month when he joked, “You have four months to learn Spanish if you wanna understand my lyrics at the Super Bowl.” That comment ignited heated discussions online about culture, identity, and what it means to represent “American music” on one of the world’s biggest stages.
Now, with Turning Point USA stepping into the spotlight, the Super Bowl weekend could see two competing halftime events — one inside the stadium, and another streaming online for millions who might choose a different kind of show.
Whether it’s a genuine act of cultural pride or a clever publicity stunt, one thing’s for sure: this year’s Super Bowl halftime conversation won’t just be about who sang the best — it’ll be about what kind of music defines America in 2025.
Will fans tune in for Bad Bunny’s Latin fire… or Turning Point USA’s “Real American” show? The battle for halftime glory has officially begun. 🇺🇸🏈
