Latest on Turning Point USA's Halftime Show: What's the Buzz?
Turning Point USA has announced its plans for an alternative event during the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, featuring performances by various artists including Kid Rock.
The organization, founded by conservative activist Charlie Kirk in 2012, faced changes following Kirk's tragic death in 2025. His widow, Erika Kirk, now serves as CEO and chair of TPUSA.
Alternative Halftime Show
TPUSA and conservative commentators criticized the NFL's choice of Bad Bunny for the halftime show, opting for an alternative event celebrating "faith, family, and freedom." The show, named 'The All-American Halftime Show', featured Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.
However, due to licensing restrictions, the show could not be streamed on X. The organization directed viewers to their YouTube channel to watch the full performance at 8 PM ET.
Critiques and Reactions
Some individuals expressed frustration over the streaming limitations, calling for easier access to the show. Criticism was also directed at the perceived lack of preparation and management by TPUSA.
