Kid Rock Says TPUSA Halftime Was Prerecorded, Denies Lip-Syncing After Sync Complaints

The Turning Point USA show served as a conservative alternative to Bad Bunny's NFL halftime, drawing far fewer viewers.

Overview

  • Kid Rock said his 'All-American Halftime Show' performance was prerecorded but performed live, rejecting claims he lip-synced.
  • He attributed the mismatches seen during 'Bawitdaba' to post-production syncing errors and said he flagged problems in an early cut.
  • Rock explained that DJ Paradime alternates lyrics with him during the song, which was not clearly shown in the edited video.
  • Conservative commentator Jack Posobiec claimed on-set footage shows Rock sang live without any timing issues at the taping.
  • USA Today reported the TPUSA stream peaked at roughly 5 million YouTube viewers, while the NFL said Bad Bunny averaged 128.2 million U.S. viewers.
