Patriot Brief

  • What Happened: Kid Rock shared the Gospel at Turning Point USA's "All-American Halftime Show," performing a cover of "Til' You Can't" with a new faith-focused verse about Jesus.
  • Why It Matters: The event drew over 5 million live viewers as an alternative to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show.
  • Bottom Line: Kid Rock said God inspired the new lyrics during a quiet Sunday morning, and TPUSA dedicated the show to making "Heaven crowded."

Kid Rock just preached the Gospel to 5 million people during the Super Bowl, and it was everything the NFL halftime show was not.

The 55-year-old singer headlined Turning Point USA's "All-American Halftime Show," which streamed as an alternative to Bad Bunny's performance. Over 5 million viewers tuned in to watch Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Gabby Barrett, and Lee Brice deliver a patriotic, faith-filled show that honored America and Jesus.

Kid Rock closed with a powerful cover of Cody Johnson's "Til' You Can't," adding a new verse centered on faith and redemption. Before performing, Rock explained that the inspiration came during a quiet Sunday morning.

"I awoke on a Sunday morning, all alone, stuck in my head. And in that moment, something or someone spoke to me. They said there was still a verse that still needed to be written for this song, and to get up and write it down," Rock said.

The new lyrics were direct. "There's a book that's sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off. There's a man that died for all our sins hanging from the cross. You can give your life to Jesus and he'll give you a second chance, 'til you can't, 'til you can't."

This is what America wanted. Not Bad Bunny pushing LGBT ideology and trashing immigration enforcement. Not a performance President Trump called "absolutely ridiculous." But a show that celebrated faith, freedom, and country.

Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's wife and head of TPUSA, said the goal was to "make Heaven crowded" and dedicated the performance to her late husband. "Charlie would've absolutely loved it," she wrote.

The TPUSA broadcast proved Americans are hungry for something better. Five million people chose faith over filth. They chose Jesus over woke nonsense. And they proved the NFL does not speak for this country.
