Kid Rock denies lip-synching during ‘pre recorded’ halftime performance
Kid Rock admitted the Turning Point USA halftime show was pre-recorded and cited synchronization issues with his DJ to deny lip-syncing claims during the 6 million-viewer broadcast.
- Turning Point USA staged a pre-taped All-American Halftime Show in Atlanta on Sunday, February 8, where Kid Rock's mouth appeared massively out of sync during his performance.
- As counterprogramming to the Super Bowl halftime, Turning Point USA organised the event featuring Kid Rock and country artists, but licensing restrictions limited streaming on X and other platforms.
- To rebut claims, Kid Rock planned a demonstration, saying, `I even told them when I saw the rough cut, I was like, 'You guys gotta work on that sync. It's off,'` and that his DJ fills vocal parts while he moves onstage .
- Late‑night hosts immediately mocked the show, while Shinedown pulled out of Rock The Country, leading to its South Carolina cancellation; the Turning Point USA livestream peaked at more than 6 million viewers.
- Meanwhile, the official halftime show headlined by Bad Bunny drew more than 135 million viewers, prompting conservative backlash due to his Spanish performances and criticism of President Donald Trump.
