Kacey Musgraves Swipes at Kid Rock After Bad Bunny Halftime Show
Kacey Musgraves sparked fresh Super Bowl chatter after weighing in on Bad Bunny’s halftime performance at Super Bowl LX, posting a pointed comparison that also took aim at Kid Rock. The Grammy-winning country singer’s remark quickly circulated online, adding another pop-culture flashpoint to the post-game conversation.
In her post, Musgraves wrote, “Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done,” a reaction she shared after the halftime show led by the Puerto Rican superstar, Yahoo Entertainment reported.
The report described the halftime event as featuring a slate of Spanish-speaking performers, naming Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin among the participants, with fans praising the overall presentation as a celebration of America’s cultural diversity. Musgraves’ comment went viral in that context, with some social media users applauding her bluntness while others pushed back with insults aimed at Kid Rock and his fanbase.
The same coverage noted that the moment also drew attention to a separate “alternative” event connected to Turning Point USA, framed as a protest-style counterprogramming, with Kid Rock performing patriotic material and a faith-themed song for a reported audience of more than six million viewers.
Musgraves’ post underscores how halftime shows can quickly become a broader cultural Rorschach test, where performances, politics, and identity debates collide in real time—and where artists’ reactions can sometimes generate as much attention as the show itself.
