Millions of people watched Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show,” the alternative music event that took place at the same time as Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, which reportedly is the most-watched halftime Super Bowl performance of all time —135 million viewers tuned in to watch the Puerto Rican rapper perform, according to CBS News.
The All-American Halftime Show, which streamed online and on a handful of cable news channels, drew in as many as 6.1 million concurrent viewers on its YouTube channel Sunday night, according to the New York Times, and began with a message in support of late conservative personality, Charlie Kirk. “This one is for you, Charlie,” a spokesman said.
Since its debut, the All-American Halftime Show’s YouTube stream has had nearly 20 million views, as of Monday morning.
Meanwhile, official numbers for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance have yet to be released, though CBS reported that early figures show it was the most-watched halftime performance of all time with more than 135 million viewers.
Apple Music said that his halftime show press conference also broke records and was “the most watched in Super Bowl history” with more than 63 million views across an array of related content, including the live stream and social clips.
