The New England Patriots are currently playing the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium. This game is a big rematch of the Super Bowl from 11 years ago. Back then, the Patriots won because of an important interception near the goal line.
The halftime entertainment became a point of choice for viewers. While the official show was on, an alternative option gained attention for its distinct approach.

Turning Point USA, the conservative organization founded by Charlie Kirk, hosted the “All-American Halftime Show,” which was streamed live from various platforms during Super Bowl LX halftime on February 8, 2026. This patriotic alternative to Bad Bunny’s performance attracted over 5 million peak viewers with a lineup celebrating faith, family, and freedom.
TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet described the event, saying, “This is a family-friendly, patriotic alternative with no agenda.”
The 30-minute show headlined by Kid Rock featured country artists Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. It aired on platforms such as YouTube, Rumble, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Daily Wire+, One America News, Real America’s Voice, NTD.com, The National Desk, and CHARGE!, after being excluded from X at the last minute due to licensing issues.
TPUSA responded to criticisms of the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny, noting that his Spanish-language performance differed from an alternative that would have emphasized American values.
The official Super Bowl drew over 115 million viewers, up from 112 million last year.
NFL fans offer honest takes on Bad Bunny’s alternative show
The difference between the Super Bowl halftime show and events like TPUSA shows a divide among NFL fans.
One fan remarked, “127.7 million viewers are watching the Super Bowl. Less than 1% right? So what percentage of fucking racist losers then are not watching the half time show?,” questioning the alternative’s reach and motives.
A second fan stated, “You can watch TPUSA halftime show on your phone and watch bad bunny on the tv,” suggesting a practical way to view both.
A third fan noted, “You are correct Turning Point is insane. By the way 300 million plus are watching Lady Gaga and Bad Bunny,” exaggerating official viewership to downplay TPUSA’s event.
A fourth fan commented, “Who cares that’s nothing compared to what the SB halftime just got,” dismissing the alternative’s impact.
A fifth fan said, “Pathetic MAGA fools, go choke on flags,” criticizing the show’s political undertones.
This split shows how halftime choices can separate NFL fans. While the league aims for global appeal, events like TPUSA’s show offer different options, mixing music with the game’s excitement.
