As the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots took the national spotlight last night, as did two different halftime shows. This year, Bad Bunny was the headliner behind the NFL’s annual extravaganza while elsewhere, Turning Point USA’s so-dubbed All-American Halftime Show got underway with a slew of entertainers, including Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett. We know that the big game ended with a score of 29 to 13, with the Seahawks taking the sought-after trophy back to the Pacific Northwest, but how did the numbers stack up between the dueling artists?
With a singular stage that featured a catwalk and a spread-out audience surrounding it, the Turning Point USA show saw its performers dressed in blue suits, cowboy hats and the like, while a nearly unrecognizable Kid Rock closed it out. Meanwhile, on NBC, Bad Bunny transported audiences to Puerto Rico in a performance that captured the many cultures that make up the United States. Joining him at one point in a duet was Lady Gaga, while a happy couple got married in the middle of Super Bowl halftime madness, all to get his message of love across.
With the numbers finally beginning to roll in, we can see a clear-cut case of whom the halftime show victor was. An early report revealed that the offshoot, which ended later than its primetime network equivalent, snagged somewhere around 5 million viewers on Turning Point USA’s YouTube during its live release. In the time since, the figures have shot up to 6.1 million, with folks turning to the online platform to see what they missed during the big game. Concurrently, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance was groundbreaking in more ways than one, as the Grammy recipient raked in a staggering 128, which falls just short of the previous record held by last year’s entertainer, Kendrick Lamar. Additionally, Bad Bunny's performance has also become the most-watched halftime show in Spanish-language television history, raking in 4.8 million on Telemundo alone. These also account for the show's domestic totals, and NBCU revealed it will share the global numbers sometime next week.
Who Else Performed at Super Bowl LX?
On top of the feuding halftime shows, audiences were treated to a handful of other musical delicacies, courtesy of some of the biggest names in the industry. Stepping out with an acoustic guitar and a well-tailored suit, multi-Grammy and Emmy-winning musician Brandi Carlile tuned up to play a rendition of “America the Beautiful,” while Coco Jones channeled Whitney Houston’s iconic Super Bowl XXV look while singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Additionally, Charlie Puth took center stage to deliver his rendition of the National Anthem, and Green Day opened the event with numerous hits from over their decades-long career. While some may have been waiting for the California legends to toss in some political overtones, they wrapped up the show without a peep.
