Turning Point USA plans to stage an alternative performance designed to compete with this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, scheduled for February 8, the same night as the NFL championship game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. The official halftime lineup features major artists including Green Day, Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, Coco Jones, and headliner Bad Bunny.
Turning Point USA announced its “All-American Halftime Show” following criticism from some Republicans over Bad Bunny’s selection, with critics labeling him anti-Trump and objecting to his Spanish-language music. Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has openly criticized Donald Trump in the past. In his song Nuevayol, he included a parody voice of Trump apologizing to immigrants and highlighting their importance to the United States.
