President Donald Trump has expressed a strong disapproval of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, yet he has remained silent about Turning Point USA’s alternative broadcast. It might be expected that the president would have shown interest in the conservative network’s lineup, which included Kid Rock along with country musicians Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. Nevertheless, footage from the president’s Super Bowl celebration at Mar-a-Lago displayed Bad Bunny’s performance prominently on large screens. TPUSA organized its own event following conservative backlash to the ‘woke’ Puerto Rican artist performing in Spanish.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 60 halftime extravaganza featured a star-studded array of artists such as Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, and Jessica Alba, earning largely favorable reviews from mainstream media. Despite TPUSA’s attempt to appeal to Trump’s conservative preferences, there is no evidence that he watched their program. Instead, Trump seemed fixated on Bad Bunny, launching a scathing critique of the performance on Truth Social later that evening.

“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!” Trump exclaimed. “It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence.” He continued, criticizing the performance for being unintelligible and inappropriate, particularly for young audiences across the United States and worldwide. When the Daily Mail sought to confirm if Trump had viewed the TPUSA show, the White House did not comment, instead sharing the president’s social media post about Bad Bunny’s act.

If Trump did not watch the TPUSA show, it would serve as a notable setback for the conservative group’s attempt to court conservatives away from the NFL’s stream. It would also mean the president tuned out one of his favorite performers and allies, Kid Rock, who appeared with Trump in the Oval Office last year. When asked last week what halftime show Trump would watch, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insinuated it would be TPUSA’s event.

‘I think the president would much prefer a kid Rock performance over Bad Bunny. I must say that,’ she said. TPUSA slammed the NFL’s decision to host Bad Bunny and labeled its event as a counterbalance to ‘Bad Bunny’s woke circus.’ In total, the TPUSA show garnered over 6.1 million concurrent viewers on its YouTube channel on Sunday, according to The Athletic. By comparison, though the numbers are not finalized, Bad Bunny’s performance is expected to have drawn between 135 – 142 million viewers.

Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show during Super Bowl 59 last year drew over 133 million views, the most for any halftime show in history. The final ratings for Bad Bunny’s show are expected to be released sometime this week, but it’s expected to be the most-watched halftime in Super Bowl history. According to a YouGov poll released on Friday, a wide swath of Americans indicated they would prefer the Puerto Rican singer over the TPUSA production. That survey found that 35 percent of respondents prefer Bad Bunny to the Kid-Rock-headlined TPUSA show. Just 28 percent indicated they were more interested in the TPUSA halftime show.
