Turning Point USA’s “All-American” Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday was met with praise.
The show, featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett streamed on YouTube at the same time as the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny took place.
Many praised the alternate show, with millions tuning in — with numbers soaring to as high as 5 million viewers tuning in to the livestream on YouTube.
However, some called it “underwhelming,” while others criticized Kid Rock’s vocal ability.

Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show” also took a moment to pay tribute to founder Charlie Kirk.
The tribute took place as Kid Rock finished up a song, and read: “In remembrance of Charlie Kirk,” alongside photos of Charlie’s wife Erika and their children.
Kacey Musgraves slammed Kid Rock as she took to X to share her thoughts.
The country singer wrote about Bad Bunny’s Halftime show: “Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.”
However, Jake Paul took to X two hours prior the halftime show to slam Bad Bunny.

Paul, who lives in Puerto Rico, denounced the Puerto Rican singer’s halftime show and told fans they “have power” to use their voices.
“Purposefully turning off the halftime show. Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them),” Paul wrote to X.
Adding: “You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime.”

“I cannot support that,” Paul said.
One person simply wrote on X: “TPUSA halftime show was much better. Thank you to all the artists who supported this great event.”
Another called the alternate show “awesome,” with another X user said that the artists “are killing it.”

However, some were critical of the Turning Point show, putting into question Kid Rock’s vocal skills.
“Anyone who thinks Kid Rock can still sing are just deaf. Both were cringe but to say the TPUSA halftime show was better is just nonsense,” a person wrote on X.
Someone else slammed Turning Point USA: “Bad bunny NFL halftime show will forever be better than the trashiest turning point halftime show.”
