INSIDE MY MIND- My take on this year’s halftime chaos?

    Good time of day!!! I hope all of you are doing amazing!! 

    I’ll be honest — I like country music, and I was curious about the alternative halftime show that TPUSA put together with Kid Rock and other country artists. Sooo, I personally enjoyed the Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett sets.... But, Kid Rock hasn't been a "kid" for years. Looking through his Youtube, I only know one of his songs .... 'All summer long' . I'm talking TPUSA thought they would be successful with a Country music line-up... So, it's clear to say the whole line-up was just sorta out of their lane. & Many others felt similarly: critics and fellow musicians called the performance underwhelming or even embarrassing, and technical issues like syncing problems were widely talked about online. I have heard that people got paid $200.00 for going and participating as the audience... I feel as though TPUSA would have to spot whoever watched it online at least, $20.00.

    On the flip side, the official Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny absolutely blew me away. As someone who doesn’t usually listen to his music, I was still captivated. His songs are catchy, it doesn't matter the language one speaks. MUSIC IS MUSIC, its UNIVERSAL.  The production, energy, choreography, and guest appearances made it one of the most memorable halftime shows in years. Despite some online backlash — including from high-profile critics — the performance drew massive viewership and many positive reactions from fans and celebrities alike.

    What I loved about Bad Bunny’s set was how it felt bold and joyful, even if parts were in Spanish (a language I don’t speak). It wasn’t just a concert — it was a celebration of culture and artistry on the biggest stage in entertainment. That’s the halftime show energy I look for.

    So yeah, give me the Big Game halftime with rhythm, creativity, and a show that surprises — and I’m there.

    Would love to hear how others felt about both shows — especially if they were surprised like I was by Bad Bunny’s set!
