\n

Fox News is under fire after promoting an alternative Super Bowl halftime show hosted by conservative activist group Turning Point USA, with critics accusing the network of politicizing one of the most-watched entertainment events of the year. The backlash centers on the show\u2019s origins, its lineup, and Fox\u2019s recent on-air promotion of the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Turning Point USA halftime show features Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. The event was launched as a direct response to the announcement that Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny would headline the official Super Bowl halftime show. President Donald Trump<\/a> publicly criticized the decision at the time, calling Bad Bunny a \u201cterrible choice\u201d and claiming he was \u201canti\u201d the performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Amid the controversy, Lee Brice appeared on Fox News<\/a> to discuss his decision to take part in the Turning Point USA halftime show. Brice addressed speculation that his involvement was motivated by opposition to Bad Bunny, pushing back on that interpretation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know much about him. I\u2019ve heard he\u2019s won a bunch of Grammys and he\u2019s a great artist or whatever. But, you know, I didn\u2019t get asked to play the other Super Bowl, but I did get asked to do this and be a part of something that I believe in,\u201d Brice said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cCharlie Kirk wanted everybody to have a microphone, and it\u2019s a celebration of what he believed in and what he brought to the table. And I\u2019m just proud. You know, I\u2019m proud to be an American. And I\u2019m excited. I\u2019m a musician. I get to go play music,\u201d he told Fox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty quick, you know. I mean, I got like a seven-minute section. Kid\u2019s got like an eight-minute section. And, like, it\u2019s really so cool. We went through it all. We\u2019ve talked about it. We\u2019ve got it all planned out. I think it\u2019s going to be really fun, kind of a mashup of stuff. Kind of, you know, just like any Super Bowl halftime, which is, again, what we get to do. This is going to be really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Viewers were fuming after Brice\u2019s visit, with one person writing on X, \u201cWhy does he act like hes playing at the Super Bowl? This is humiliating.” \u201cStar studded?? Fox News gonna get sued again for lying,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBro ain\u2019t nobody watching this nonsense,\u201d someone else added. \u201cThe dude (whoever he is) actually said he gets to play at the Superbowl??? This is right out of The Office! Lol.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cNobody is going to watch that crap, and even if they don’t…Fox will say EVERYONE did,\u201d one person said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One more added, \u201cHey Fox\u2026might want to tell Trump his taste in music sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Super Bowl halftime show is traditionally one of the most high-profile music performances of the year, drawing tens of millions of viewers and often shaping pop culture conversations long after the game ends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Turning Point USA alternative show, however, exists outside the NFL\u2019s official programming and is not affiliated with the league. Instead, it is promoted through conservative media and social platforms, positioning itself as a counterprogramming option for viewers who oppose the official halftime choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
