Turning Point USA, the conservative nonprofit founded by late right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, has announced plans to counterprogram Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show.
In flyers shared across the organization's social media profiles, Turning Point unveiled plans for their "All American Halftime Show" which will celebrate "faith, family and freedom" when it airs on Feb. 8, offering an alternative to the Super Bowl LX halftime show broadcast.
"Performers and event details coming soon," the announcement concluded, linking to a survey that allows people to select which music genres they would like the performances to feature. Listed options include "Pop," "Americana," "Worship," and "Anything in English."
Bad Bunny, who has emerged as one of the biggest musical acts in the world since his 2016 debut, was named the 2026 halftime show headliner on Sept. 28, inciting a wave of backlash from conservative pundits. Much of the outrage was fueled by the Puerto Rican singer's previous comments, revealing that he declined to bring his latest tour to the U.S. out of fear that ICE would target concertgoers.

May I suggest Musk and Donny's cover of a Spike Jones classic.
