Conservative group's alternative halftime show faces unexpected setback just hours before kickoff.
Turning Point USA's alternative Super Bowl Halftime show hit a snag just hours before it was meant to air on X. The event was intended to air during halftime of Super Bowl LX, the NFL’s matchup played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with the Seattle Seahawks facing off against the New England Patriots.
The conservative nonprofit, founded by late right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk redirected viewers to watch on YouTube instead, The Independent reports, citing licensing restrictions as the reason. The “All-American Halftime Show,” promoted as a counter-programming option to the NFL’s official Super Bowl halftime performance, was intended to run concurrently with the game. Turning Point originally made the announcement shortly after the NFL chose Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny, a selection that drew some backlash from conservative circles despite him being an American artist. Close While details about the licensing issue were not fully disclosed, Turning Point USA characterized the decision as abrupt and outside of its control. Instead, Trump shared a brief message on Truth Social writing,"Enjoy the Super Bowl, America! Our Country is stronger, bigger, and better than ever before and, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!" The controversy unfolded alongside renewed debate over this year’s official Super Bowl halftime performer, Bad Bunny. Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre publicly stated that he would not be watching the rapper’s halftime show, opting instead to tune into Turning Point USA’s alternative broadcast.
