Turning Point USA has formally unveiled the lineup for its alternate Super Bowl halftime show, but this system that is supposed to appeal to conservative and proper-wing viewers planning to boycott the show helmed by Bad Bunny immediately confronted backlash from followers.
The group beforehand helmed by the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk and now led by his spouse, Erika, announced its plans for an various show after the NFL confirmed the Puerto Rican artist, 31, as their headliner for the show that was going to air during the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.
However, following the announcement of their lineup, which many rapidly slammed as “embarrassing,” more people are starting to converse out and troll the deliberate show.
The event, dubbed ‘The All-American Halftime Show,’ is set to air at the same time as the NFL championship sport’s show, kicking off around 8 PM, the same time the latest Album of the Year Grammy Award winner is set to take the stage.

Many potential viewers took to social media to ridicule the lineup shortly after it was announced, with some even admitting they didn’t even know who the other performers had been, with Kid Rock the only immediately recognizable title.
“The only one I’ve heard of is Kid Rock, and that’s a no for me. I love the Super Bowl regardless of who’s headlining,” one individual wrote on X (previously Twitter). “I’ve always watched and have usually been pleasantly surprised if it’s someone I’ve never heard of or followed. Or I’ve drifted off giggling, listening to my dad and friends bickering about bad calls and bad plays. And grabbing some more seven-layer dip and chips before the second half. It’s really not that deep ya’ll but you do you.”
Several others agreed with the sentiment, with many admitting they’d no thought who the other artists had been.
“The only one I know is Kid Rock,” one individual said, while another added, “I”ve actually only heard about one individual on right here that being Kidd Rock and that’s only because of faculty of roc.”

“Who who who whoooooo???” another requested, with an further individual including, “I have no clue who Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett are.”
The lineup consists of performers who have been notably vocal supporters of the Trump Administration or conservative politics, and two have beforehand carried out for the president, who is carefully aligned with Turning Point USA.
Kid Rock has carried out for the president at the 2024 Republican National Convention and also appeared at inauguration occasions in 2025. Barrett also carried out at the 96th annual National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony in 2018.
Many also mocked the show’s lineup for the potential viewership it might appeal to, noting the distinction in the careers of those set to carry out in contrast to Bad Bunny’s.

Bad Bunny has over 82.7 million month-to-month streams on Spotify. Meanwhile, Kid Rock registers 5.1 million, Brice 4.8 million, Barrett 3.9 million, and Gilbert 2.8 million–for a complete of 16.6 million streams. The Tití Me Preguntó singer has 4 occasions as many streams as their mixed complete.
Bad Bunny is now a six-time Grammy Award winner, including his historic win as the first Latin artist to take home the Album of the Year trophy for Debí Tirar Más Fotos.
The other performers have yet to earn Grammy Awards; Kid Rock has obtained 5 nominations throughout his profession, his last in 2009, and Brice has obtained only one nomination in 2014.
