Phxt Charlie Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, has announced plans to broadcast its own “All American” Super Bowl Halftime Show this year. The move comes amid frustration from many conservative sports fans who have criticized the NFL’s decision to feature Spanish-language artist Bad Bunny as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl performance.
Turning Point USA, the conservative organization founded by Charlie Kirk, has announced plans to air its own “All American” Super Bowl Halftime Show this year — a direct response to growing dissatisfaction among right-wing sports fans with the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny as the performer for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Conservative Fans Push Back
The NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny — a global superstar known for his Spanish-language reggaeton and Latin trap hits — has stirred controversy among conservative audiences. Many critics argue that the league’s decision reflects a growing disconnect between the NFL and its traditional American fan base.
Some social media users and political commentators have described Bad Bunny as a “Spanish-singing artist who doesn’t represent American culture,” while others have accused the NFL of turning the Super Bowl into a “platform for cultural politics.”
The “All American” Alternative
In response, Turning Point USA says its “All American Halftime Show” will serve as a “patriotic alternative” for viewers seeking a different kind of entertainment during football’s biggest night.
According to the organization, the event will feature a lineup of “American artists who celebrate faith, family, and freedom.” Details on performers and location have not yet been released, but the show is expected to air simultaneously with the official halftime broadcast.
A Symbolic Cultural Clash
This move marks one of the most high-profile examples of cultural counterprogramming in recent Super Bowl history — reflecting a broader divide between mainstream entertainment and conservative audiences.
Critics view Turning Point’s effort as a political stunt, while supporters call it a stand for “traditional American values” in modern pop culture.
As anticipation builds for Super Bowl LX in 2026, one thing is certain: this year’s halftime show — and its patriotic rival — will represent more than just a musical performance. They’ll be competing visions of what it means to be “All American.”
