TPUSA Hosts The “All-American Halftime Show”
In October 2025, TPUSA announced that it would be hosting an alternative Super Bowl halftime performance, called the “All-American Halftime Show.” The event was promoted as being a show for “celebrating faith, family, and freedom.”
The news came just after the NFL announced that Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny was going to be the Super Bowl halftime show performer.
On February 2, the organization announced that Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Gabby Barrett, and Brantley Gilbert would be performing during the “All-American Halftime Show” on Sunday (February 8).
The event was a massive success, drawing in over 6 million viewers during the night.
