Bad Bunny has been picked to be the halftime performer at Super Bowl LX, and MAGA has not been happy about it.
They have even been tossing around the idea of having their own alternate halftime show featuring a surprise rock pick as their star performer. But House Speaker Mike Johnson pitched another name while recently bashing Bad Bunny’s selection, and it looks like the singer is down to do it.
Johnson called the pick a “terrible decision.”
“There are so many eyes on the Super Bowl — a lot of young, impressionable children,” Johnson said.
He then pitched an outside of the box pick of his own — country music icon Lee Greenwood — claiming that he would appeal to “a broader audience.”
TMZ said it asked the “God Bless the U.S.A.” singer about it, and he told the outlet that he would step up and crush the halftime show. While that is unlikely to happen, TMZ said fans who want to see Greenwood get a halftime gig in can check him out during halftime of the Dallas Cowboys’ Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 3.
MAGA has also been pushing for Creed to perform during an alternate Super Bowl halftime show.
Conservative influencer Jack Posobiec has floated the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA hosting Creed for a “counter-Super Bowl halftime show.”
“By every measure Creed has earned the Super Bowl halftime gig,” Posobiec said. “It is time for them to take us Higher. To a place with golden streets.”
He even recently appeared on “The Charlie Kirk Show,” along with conservative podcaster Tim Pool, who was also not a fan of Bad Bunny getting the gig.
“We need Creed,” Posbiec said. “We need (Creed frontman) Scott Stapp flying down from the rafters.”
So far, though, there’s no word from Stapp or Creed about possibly playing a counter gig to the big game.
Just this week, President Donald Trump slammed the selection of Bad Bunny for the big game as “ridiculous.”
“I’ve never heard of him,” Trump said.
Bad Bunny, 31, is one of the most-streamed artists in the world on Spotify.
