Zach Bryan's Response to Turning Point USA's Controversial SB LX Halftime Performance
Zach Bryan criticized Turning Point USA for organizing a rival show during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance. In a now-deleted Instagram Story post, Bryan expressed his disapproval of adults hosting their own halftime show, calling it embarrassing and cringeworthy.
The controversy stemmed from Bad Bunny being announced as the headliner for Super Bowl 60, which received backlash from conservatives and media figures. Turning Point USA, a right-wing organization, decided to host an alternative halftime show featuring acts like Kid Rock and Brantley Gilbert.
Kid Rock and Turning Point USA
Kid Rock, one of the performers at the rival halftime show, took a jab at Bad Bunny and emphasized playing songs for those who love America. The shows had fans tuning in to support their preferred performances during the Super Bowl break.
Bad Bunny made history by performing the entire show in Spanish and brought out surprise guests like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. He emphasized unity across the Americas amid the controversy surrounding ICE raids targeting illegal immigration in the U.S.
Message of Unity
Bad Bunny’s halftime performance concluded with a message of love being more powerful than hate, symbolized by a message displayed on the stadium jumbotron. Celebrities like Alix Earle, Jessica Alba, and Pedro Pascal were seen participating in the extravagant show.
