The alternative to Bad Bunny's performance didn't go off without a hitch. Before it went live, it was revealed that it wouldn't be on X (formerly Twitter) due to "licensing restrictions."

This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but the TPUSA MAGA Halftime Show, with Kid Rock as the headliner, as a counter to Bad Bunny, was hilariously bad.

He was also joined by Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett; we have no idea who they are, either.
Anyway, videos of his performance flooded social media, and it appeared that his audio was out of sync, and reportedly, his performance in his jorts, paired with his unimpressive microphone flips, was pre-recorded.
Even MAGA Conservatives Were Disappointed With Kid Rock
Conservative viewers were not too thrilled with the quality they were getting. “Charlie Kirk would not have approved of Kid Rock’s pre-recorded Lip Sync Super Bowl performance,” Next News Network, a conservative news outlet, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Next News Network also called out TPUSA’s event for not being live.

Lol, these people are seriously disturbed by an American citizen performing in Spanish.
Anyway, the rest of social media had nothing but jokes about Kid Rock’s performance. “Kid Rocks lip syncing is Ashley Simpson on SNL” level bad,” one post on social media read.
“I’m watching a lot of petty, mean-spirited haters dunking on Kid Rock on every platform and seriously you all rock,” actor Patton Oswalt wrote on BlueSky.
