One of the options listed is “Anything in English.”<\/p>\n The announcement of Turning Point USA’s counter-programming for the the Super Bowl Halftime Show comes on the heels of the NFL’s choice to name Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican rapper and singer, as the Halftime Show performer at Super Bowl LX.<\/p>\n The decision has sparked plenty of controversy, with many conservative critics accusing the musician of being “massive Trump hater<\/a>” or an “anti-ICE pop star,” as Molly Jong-Fast<\/strong> wrote in a New York Times<\/a> opinion.<\/p>\n Donald Trump <\/strong>has also condemned the decision to hire Bad Bunny for the gig, calling the artist an “absolutely ridiculous” choice, per NewsMax<\/a>. <\/p>\n In September, Bad Bunny explained that ICE played a role in his decision not to schedule any concert dates in the U.S. as part of his most recent world tour.<\/p>\n “There was the issue of\u2014like, f\u2014king ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it\u2019s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,” Bad Bunny told i-D Magazine<\/a>, emphasizing that none of the reasons that went into his decision “were out of hate.”<\/p>\n Despite his intentions to keep his international fans safe at his concerts, the situation for Super Bowl LX is has a much different outlook.<\/p>\n Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem<\/strong> already confirmed that ICE agents<\/a> will be “all over” the NFL event in February.<\/p>\n Related: Country Music Couple Shares Photos with Charlie Kirk in Emotional Tribute After His Death<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 9, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
