Some viewers, uncomfortable with a Spanish-language set, were offered an alternative: TPUSA\u2019s \u201cAll-American Halftime Show,\u201d led by Erika Kirk and headlined by Kid Rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon after the show, social media buzzed with accusations that Rock\u2019s set had been pre-recorded. In an interview with <em>The Ingraham Angle<\/em> on Fox News, the 55-year-old musician denied lip-syncing outright \u2014 but admitted a detail that fueled speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u2018DIDN\u2019T understand any of it\u2019: Kid Rock shares his thoughts on Bad Bunny\u2019s performance  #foxnews #us\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f_TAUTdzrSI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue reading on next page&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m jumping around the stage like a rabid monkey, rapping my song, and I\u2019m taking breaths, and my DJ is filling in the other parts of it,\u201d Rock explained. He added that syncing issues made post-production tricky, saying, \u201cI even told them when I saw the rough cut, \u2018You guys got to work on that sync. It\u2019s off.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fans quickly interpreted this as evidence the show may not have been entirely live, even if Rock himself performed vocally in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his set, Rock opened with a shortened version of his 1999 hit <em>Bawitdaba<\/em>, delivered a slow acoustic version of Cody Johnson\u2019s <em>\u2019Til You Can\u2019t<\/em>, and added a self-written third verse honoring TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite lingering questions about how \u201clive\u201d the performance truly was, TPUSA drew 6.1 million concurrent viewers \u2014 a respectable figure compared to Bad Bunny\u2019s 100+ million on the official broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which halftime show did you catch \u2014 Kid Rock or Bad Bunny?
