Megyn Kelly Praises Turning Point USA Halftime Show Competing with Bad Bunny’s Performance
Megyn Kelly has made it clear which Super Bowl halftime performance she enjoyed.
While Bad Bunny performed in the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, February 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the conservative nonprofit organization Turning Point USA — founded by the late Charlie Kirk — put on its own rival “All-American Halftime Show,” livestreamed on YouTube.
Kid Rock headlined TPUSA’s show, and country singers Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett took the stage as well.
The political commentator, 55, took to X after the show, gushing, “Congratulations @TPUSA, I am in tears at that BEAUTIFUL half time show. Everyone did a spectacular job – it was perfect. THANK YOU!”
The former Fox News host also responded to an X post from Michael McFaul, the former United States ambassador to Russia, which read, “You all missed out. Bad Bunny was awesome.” Kelly replied: “Nah, I like my half time shows in English from ppl who love America.”
Bad Bunny made history as the first artist to deliver the halftime show primarily in Spanish, according to Rolling Stone.
A video montage dedicated to Kirk — who was fatally shot while speaking in Utah on September 10 — played at the end of TPUSA’s show.
TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet previously shared a statement regarding the show.
“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,” his February 2 statement read. “We set out to provide an entertainment option that will be fun, excellent, and exciting for the entire family while millions are gathered together for the big game. These performers will deliver exactly that, and we can’t wait to watch the incredible show they’re about to put on. We know millions around the country will be watching too.”
