In a move that’s already redefining what a halftime show can be, Turning Point USA has confirmed a star-studded lineup for its “All American Halftime Show” — a live tribute to the late Charlie Kirk, designed to run head-to-head with Bad Bunny’s NFL Super Bowl performance.
And now, the names are out.
The stage will bring together a once-in-a-generation blend of heartland icons, spiritual voices, and unapologetic patriots: Morgan Wallen, Carrie Underwood, Brandon Lake, Vince Gill, Jason Aldean, and Kid Rock.
“It’s Not a Concert — It’s a Calling.”
Insiders close to the production describe the event as “a spiritual homecoming for America’s music.”
Rather than chasing trends or ratings, the show’s creators — led by Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow — wanted to assemble a lineup that captured what her husband fought for: faith, family, freedom, and courage.
“Every artist on this stage represents a different part of America’s heartbeat,” Erika said in a behind-the-scenes clip.
“This isn’t about entertainment. It’s about truth — and tribute.”
Morgan Wallen: “Doing It for Charlie”
Country superstar Morgan Wallen will reportedly open the night with an acoustic set under a single spotlight — a stripped-down version of “Thought You Should Know,” followed by a surprise unreleased track written after Kirk’s passing.
“He’s keeping it raw,” a crew member shared. “No pyrotechnics, no dancers — just a man, a guitar, and a message.”
Wallen, who had been privately close with the Kirk family, has said he wants his performance to be “for Charlie — and for every American who refuses to give up.”
Carrie Underwood: The Voice of Hope
The emotional centerpiece of the night will likely come from Carrie Under, who is set to perform “Something in the Water” backed by a 40-piece orchestra and a live gospel choir.
Sources describe the segment as “a moment of pure faith and redemption,” complete with drones lighting up the sky in the shape of a cross and an eagle.
“Carrie wanted it to feel like a prayer,” the director said. “Not a show — a moment of stillness before the storm.”
Brandon Lake & Vince Gill: Faith and Legacy
To bring spiritual depth to the evening, Brandon Lake, one of the leading voices in contemporary Christian music, will join the lineup. His breakout hits “Gratitude” and “Praise You Anywhere” are expected to anchor a medley that transitions into a duet with country legend Vince Gill.
Gill, known for his soulful voice and emotional storytelling, will dedicate his performance to Erika Kirk, performing “Go Rest High on That Mountain” — a song now rumored to be the show’s emotional crescendo.
“When Vince sings that song,” one insider said, “you’ll hear a nation weeping.”
Jason Aldean & Kid Rock: The Grand Finale
And then, the fireworks. Literally.
The show’s finale will unite Jason Aldean and Kid Rock, two of the most outspoken artists in America today, for a remix of Aldean’s viral anthem “Try That in a Small Town.”
The reimagined version, retitled “Try That in This Country,” is being described as a defiant, electric tribute to Charlie’s legacy — a reminder that patriotism, courage, and rebellion still have a place in American culture.
“They’re not pulling punches,” a source laughed. “This will be the most talked-about moment of the night.”
A Movement, Not a Moment
As social media explodes with anticipation, fans are calling it “the real halftime show.”
Hashtags like #AllAmericanHalftime, #FaithFreedomFamily, and #JusticeForCharlie have trended globally.
Even critics admit: this isn’t a partisan stunt — it’s a cultural phenomenon.
“Turning Point isn’t trying to outshine the NFL,” wrote one columnist. “They’re trying to outshine cynicism — and, somehow, they just might.”
What Comes Next
With rehearsals already underway in Texas, producers hint that there’s still one “mystery guest” yet to be revealed — someone “America will never see coming.”
Whatever happens next, one thing is certain:
When the lights dim and the crowd roars, the All American Halftime Show won’t just be a tribute to Charlie Kirk.
It’ll be a statement — that even in a divided age, there’s still a heartbeat strong enough to bring America to its feet. ❤️🇺🇸🔥
