Patriot Showdown! Turning Point USA Declares War on Super Bowl LX With Its Own ‘All American Halftime Show’ to Rival Bad Bunny’s Performance

The battle for America’s biggest stage just got political.

Turning Point USA, the conservative media powerhouse founded by Charlie Kirk, has announced plans for what it’s calling the “All American Halftime Show” — a full-scale alternative to the NFL’s official Super Bowl LX halftime performance featuring Latin superstar Bad Bunny.

The event, which organizers describe as a “patriotic, family-friendly celebration of American values,” will air at the same time as Bad Bunny’s performance — setting the stage for one of the most talked-about culture clashes in Super Bowl history.

A Patriotic Alternative

According to a press release from Turning Point USA, the All American Halftime Show will spotlight a mix of country artists, faith-based performers, and “voices who still believe in God, family, and freedom.”
While the full lineup has not yet been revealed, insiders hint that several major names in country and Christian music have already expressed interest.

“This isn’t about division — it’s about giving Americans a choice,” a Turning Point spokesperson said. “Millions of people feel like the NFL and mainstream entertainment no longer represent their values. This show is for them.”

Backlash and Buzz

The announcement comes amid growing debate over the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny — one of the world’s biggest pop stars — as the official halftime performer. While fans of the Puerto Rican artist have celebrated the move as a global milestone, some football loyalists have criticized it as another sign that the league is catering more to pop culture than patriotism.

“Bad Bunny is talented, no doubt,” one online commenter wrote, “but when you think of the Super Bowl, you think of America. Where’s the red, white, and blue?”

The controversy has already made waves on social media, with the hashtag #AllAmericanHalftime trending among conservative circles within hours of the announcement.

Culture Clash at the 50-Yard Line

For Turning Point USA, the move is as much about symbolism as it is about showmanship. The organization, which has long positioned itself at the forefront of conservative youth culture, sees the halftime show as a platform to showcase what it calls “the true spirit of America.”

“The Super Bowl used to be a unifying event,” said Charlie Kirk in a recent radio appearance. “Now it’s become another Hollywood spectacle. We’re bringing the focus back to faith, family, and freedom — the things that made this country great.”

Critics, however, accuse the group of politicizing entertainment and using patriotism as a marketing tool. “It’s performative outrage,” one media analyst told Variety. “The Super Bowl is for everyone, not just one political demographic. Turning Point’s show is about building headlines, not harmony.”

Two Halftime Shows, One Nation Divided

As anticipation builds for both events, one thing is certain — this year’s Super Bowl won’t just be about touchdowns and trophies. It’s becoming a referendum on what kind of entertainment America wants to celebrate.

Whether viewers tune in for Bad Bunny’s electrifying stagecraft or Turning Point’s flag-waving spectacle, the cultural divide playing out on the nation’s screens may say as much about modern America as the game itself.

And as one fan wrote online:

“Forget the teams — this year’s real battle is between the beat and the banner.”
