Donald Trump has made it clear that he will be paying close attention to the NFL and the Super Bowl during his Presidency. Earlier this year he became the first sitting President to attend the big game, and now he is trying to influence next year’s halftime show.
Almost two weeks after Bad Bunny was announced as the Halftime performer, it was announced there will be an alternative show to watch.

“The All-American Halftime Show” will be presented during Super Bowl LX by Turning Point USA, a Charlie Kirk co-founded organization:
Officials for the conservative non-profit announced the planned alternative halftime show on social media but did not say which musical acts and others would perform.
“It’s true, Turning Point USA is thrilled to announce The All-American Halftime Show,” it said in a post on X on Thursday, as reported by Fox News.
The post says the event will celebrate faith, family and freedom.
Turning Point USA has created a website to present the halftime show and asked online visitors to choose which musical genres they would like to see perform.
Bad Bunny looks towards the fans on stage during his “Most Wanted Tour” at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., Saturday, May 11, 2024.
Survey results so far show support for country, rock, hip hop and “anything in English,” The Hill reported.
The event would air while rapper Benito Antonio Martiniz Ocasio, aka Bad Bunny, performs during the Super Bowl’s halftime show headliner.
The musical artist from Puerto Rico has won three Grammy Awards since his career took off in 2016.
He also is slated to be named Billboard’s Latin Artist of the 21st Century during the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Oct.23.
Bad Bunny is undertaking a world tour but has refused to perform in the United States, other than during the Super Bowl.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt recently dismissed such concerns and said there are no plans in place to raid Bad Bunny concerts.
Despite Leavitt’s denial, DHS adviser Corey Lewandowski recently suggested ICE agents would attend Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance.
Lewandowski made the claim while appearing on “The Benny Show” podcast on Oct. 1.
“There is nowhere that you can provide a safe haven to the people in this country illegally,” he told podcast host Benny Johnson.
The Super Bowl is scheduled for Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
