Millions Tune in to TPUSA's 'All American Halftime' Super Bowl Show
Millions of Americans turned the channel during the Super Bowl to watch Turning Point USA's alternative "All American Halftime Show" as the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks faced off Sunday in Super Bowl LX.
In the game itself, the Seattle Seahawks used a crushing defense to defeat the New England Patriots, 29-13, capturing their second NFL championship in the club's history.
Many people were upset that the NFL's Super Bowl halftime show on February 8 would star Bad Bunny, a music artist known for flaunting sexuality who once dressed in drag during the Grammy Awards.
To provide a more patriotic alternative, TPUSA announced a lineup of four performers:
- Kid Rock
- Brantley Gilbert
- Lee Brice
- Gabby Barrett
“The All-American Halftime Show is an opportunity for all Americans to enjoy a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family, and freedom,” TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said.
While many people recognize Kid Rock, who isn't always the most family-friendly performer, but the other three artists are country singers who might be less famous, but they are each known to be devoted Christians.
Brantley Gilbert frequently incorporates his faith into his music and public life. He often discusses how his faith in God is a major part of his life and songwriting, as well as his role as a husband and father.
He wrote on X when he released his album "Tattoos" that the songs "highlight everything from my faith to my family to everyday life and give a snapshot as to where I am right now as a husband, a father, and just a man."
One example of his faith-based content is his song "My Faith In You," where he refers to reading the Bible: "That's why I'm thumbing through these pages, They say the answers are in red... And I'm still asking You for help, Because Lord I just can't help myself..."
Gabby Barrett is an outspoken Christian who seeks to put her faith, family, and a Godly marriage first, before her career. She released a Christian single called "Jesus on a Train," and often shares how her beliefs guide her life.
Barrett told Taste of Country that being a Christian is her primary identity, stating, "I fell in love with country music, but being a Christian is my identity. My identity is in Jesus. And so that changes everything."

And finally, Lee Brice also calls himself a "follower of King Jesus" and urges fans to find a Bible-believing church.
Brice holds a special connection to TPUSA after he wrote a tribute to Charlie Kirk in the wake of his assassination. Here's that song, which talks about "some iron nails and a wooden cross," and it's all about The Kingdom of God coming to earth.
