周日，当坏痞兔在苹果音乐超级碗中场秀上登台表演时，由保守派倡导组织“美国转折点”(Turning Point USA，简称TPUSA)主办的名为“全美中场秀”的另类中场秀也同步上演，基德·罗克(Kid Rock)担任该场演出的领衔嘉宾。
这场“独一无二的流媒体盛事”除基德·罗克外，还有《Bottoms Up》演唱者布兰特利·吉尔伯特(Brantley Gilbert)、《I Drive Your Truck》演唱者李·布里斯(Lee Brice)以及《I Hope》演唱者加比·巴雷特(Gabby Barrett)等艺人登台献艺。
据美国广播公司新闻部观察，周日晚间活动期间，TPUSA在YouTube上的直播观看人数峰值超过600万。
基德·罗克表演结束后，该组织承诺明年赛事期间将再次举办此活动。
TPUSA发言人安德鲁·科尔维特(Andrew Kolvet)在推特上发文称：“仅在YouTube和Rumble平台上，‘全美中场秀’的观看量就超过了2500万次。”“基于今晚的成功，我们已决定明年再次举办。2027年，‘全美中场秀’将再度回归。”
不过，TPUSA所宣称的2500万总观看量仍有待核实。截至周一上午，YouTube上的重播观看量约为1900万次。
去年10月，在全球现象级人物、年度最佳专辑格莱美奖得主坏痞兔被宣布为超级碗官方中场秀表演嘉宾后，TPUSA便公布了这场另类中场秀的计划。
该场演出在超级碗比赛第二节结束后，通过TPUSA的社交媒体平台，以及Daily Wire+、TBN、Real America's Voice和OANN等平台进行直播。
“我们对待这场演出就像大卫对抗歌利亚。与职业橄榄球联盟和全球流行巨星同台竞技几乎是不可能的……但真的不可能吗?”基德·罗克在早前的一份新闻稿中说道，随后他还揶揄了坏痞兔，并补充道，“我们打算为热爱美国的人们演奏精彩的歌曲。”
TPUSA发言人安德鲁·科尔维特在声明中还表示：“我们旨在为数百万齐聚一堂观看这场盛大赛事的家庭提供一个有趣、出色且令人兴奋的娱乐选择。这些表演者将带来这样的体验，我们迫不及待地想观看他们即将呈现的精彩演出。”
基德·罗克表演结束后，TPUSA发表了对创始人兼首席执行官查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)的致敬，并将这场演出献给了他。
布兰特利·吉尔伯特率先开场，随后加比·巴雷特和李·布里斯依次登台表演。
在布里斯表演期间，他提到了查理·柯克，称这位活动家“给了人们麦克风，让他们说出自己的想法。这就是我的想法。”
宣布演出阵容之前，保守派已对美国国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)聘请坏痞兔担任第六十届超级碗中场秀表演嘉宾的决定进行了数月的抵制。
坏痞兔出生于波多黎各，是美国公民，他的歌曲几乎全部用西班牙语演唱，在超级碗中场秀上也主要用西班牙语表演。Lady Gaga也加入了坏痞兔的表演，演唱了她的歌曲《笑着离世》(Die With a Smile)。
此前，由于近期美国移民及海关执法局(ICE)加强打击力度，坏痞兔公开支持美国境内的移民，因此最近遭到了保守派的抵制，包括他在周日晚格莱美奖颁奖典礼上的获奖感言。
“在感谢上帝之前，我要说‘ICE滚出去’。”坏痞兔在格莱美奖最佳城市音乐专辑奖颁奖时说道，“我们不是野蛮人，我们不是动物。我们是人，我们是美国人。”
他还呼吁人们用爱对抗仇恨，并表示“唯一比仇恨更强大的力量就是爱”。
此外，在年度最佳专辑获奖感言中，他将奖项“献给所有不得不离开祖国、家乡去追逐梦想的人”。
Kid Rock headlines TPUSA counterprogrammed Super Bowl halftime show
Kid Rock headlined acounterprogrammed halftime showdubbed "The All-American Halftime Show," run by conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA at the same time Bad Bunny took the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage on Sunday.
Along with Kid Rock, the "one-of-a-kind streaming event" featured performances from "Bottoms Up" singer Brantley Gilbert, "I Drive Your Truck" singer Lee Brice, and "I Hope" singer Gabby Barrett.
Turning Point USA's YouTube stream of the show peaked at just over six million concurrent viewers during Sunday night's event, according to what ABC News observed
Following Kid Rock's performance, the group promised to bring the show back for next year's game.
"The All-American Halftime Show pulled in OVER 25 MILLION views on just YouTube and Rumble alone," TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet tweeted. "Based on tonight’s success, we have committed to running it back again next year. The All-American Halftime Show will be back in 2027."
That 25 million total touted by TPUSA remains unverified. The YouTube replay currently stands at around 19 million views as of Monday morning.
TPUSA announced plans for the counterprogrammed show in October after global phenom and album of the year Grammy winner Bad Bunny was named the official Super Bowl halftime performer.
The show began its stream after the end of the second quarter of the Super Bowl game across TPUSA social platforms, as well as on Daily Wire+, TBN, Real America's Voice and OANN.
"We're approaching this show like David and Goliath. Competing with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible... or is it?" Kid Rock said in an earlier news release, before taking a jab at Bad Bunny and adding, "We plan to play great songs for folks who love America."
In the statement, Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet added in part, "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."
After Kid Rock’s performance, Turning Point USA posted a tribute to Charlie Kirk, its founder and CEO, dedicating the show to him.
Brantley Gilbert opened the show, followed by performances from Gabby BarrettandLee Brice.
During Brice's performance, he referenced Charlie Kirk, saying the activist "gave people microphones to say what’s on their mind. This is what’s on mine."
The lineup announcement came after months of conservative backlash to the NFL's decision to hire Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl LX halftime show performer.
Bad Bunny, who was born in Puerto Rico and is an American citizen, sings almost exclusively in Spanish and performed primarily in Spanish during the Super Bowl halftime event. Lady Gaga joined Bad Bunny's performance, playing her song "Die With a Smile."
Before the show, Bad Bunny has been on the receiving end of conservative backlash recently for his outspokensupportof immigrants in the United States amid recentICE crackdowns, including in hisGrammys acceptance speechesSunday night.
"Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say ICE OUT," Bad Bunny said while accepting the award for best música urbana album at the Grammy Awards. "We're not savages, we're not animals. We are humans, and we are Americans."
He also called on people to fight hate with love, saying "the only thing that is more powerful than hate is love."
Additionally, in his album of the year acceptance speech, he dedicated the award "to all the people that had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams."
