Turning Point USA's halftime show for Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks has just run into a pretty major obstacle.
A few months ago, Turning Point USA announced that it was planning an "All American Halftime Show" for the Patriots-Seahawks game. This was basically the organization's response to the NFL choosing Bad Bunny as its lead performer for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime 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,” Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said. “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.”
It was initially reported that Turning Point USA's halftime show would be streamed on its YouTube, X, and Rumble accounts. It's also supposed to be available on Daily Wire+, Real America’s Voice, The National News Desk and OAN News.
Well, we can officially cross one option off the board.
"Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to stream The All-American Halftime Show on X," Turning Point USA announced right before kickoff. "Head on over to our YouTube channel tonight around 8PM ET to watch the full show."

Who'll perform for Turning Point USA?
Kid Rock, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, will headline the “All American Halftime Show." He'll be joined by Gabby Barrett, Lee Brice and Brantley Gilbert.
Apparently, the president of the United States will choose Turning Point USA's halftime show over the NFL's.
“I think the president would much prefer a Kid Rock performance over Bad Bunny,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. replied. “I must say that.”
We can't wait to see the ratings for these two shows.
