As Super Bowl Sunday approaches, the halftime conversation isn’t just about football this year— politics has weaseled its way into the chat.
While the NFL’s official halftime show will feature Grammy Award-winning artist Bad Bunny, a very different musical event is taking shape online. Turning Point USA, the conservative nonprofit founded by Charlie Kirk, announced it will stream an “All-American Halftime Show” as an alternative to the main broadcast.
The lineup, so far, includes Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, and now, country star Gabby Barrett.
The announcement, shared Monday, February 2, to TPUSA’s Instagram account, quickly ignited strong reactions across social media.

Some cheered for the 25-year-old singer with comments like, “I love Gabby. This is amazing!” and, “I am so glad they picked you!!!!! @gabbybarrett_.”
But others were extremely disappointed in Barrett’s move. “Noooooooo gabby ???? I loved you,” one stated. “Really disappointed with Gabby being there ?,” said another.
Barrett’s involvement didn’t surprise longtime followers. The singer has previously aligned herself with conservative events, including performing at the White House Christmas Tree Lighting in 2018 during Donald Trump’s first presidency. “Honored that I was invited to sing for the President last night at the White House. Airs on TV Dec. 2nd!” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

Barrett first rose to national attention on American Idol in 2018, when she competed on season 16 and finished in third place. The exposure launched her country career and helped set the stage for her crossover into mainstream radio.
TPUSA’s announcement comes just one day after Bad Bunny—who’s real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—made headlines at the 2026 Grammys, where he won Album of the Year and used the stage to speak out against immigration enforcement. “Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say, ICE Out!” he said, later adding, “The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.”
Turning Point USA’s All-American Halftime Show will stream on its social platforms during Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8.
