Update about Turning Point USA’s halftime show

Turning Point USA announced it would air its own alternative halftime event during the 2026 Super Bowl in response to criticism from some conservatives about the official Bad Bunny performance, promoting a livestream centered on “faith, family and freedom” with Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. The organization, now led by Erika Kirk after the 2025 death of founder Charlie Kirk, said the show would run opposite the official halftime. However, TPUSA later updated viewers that licensing restrictions prevent streaming on X, directing audiences instead to watch the full concert on YouTube around 8 p.m. ET.
