Erika Kirk Speaks Out on Alternative Super Bowl Show as Viewing Figures Revealed
Erika Kirk has taken to social media to react to Turning Point USA's All-American halftime show during Super Bowl LX after viewing figures were revealed.
On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks were a class above as they dispatched the New England Patriots 29-13 to clinch Super Bowl LX glory at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Kenneth Walker became the first running back to be named Super Bowl MVP since the Denver Broncos' Terrell Davis in Super Bowl XXXII.
During Super Bowl LX, Puerto Rican musical artist Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, performed hits like 'Tití Me Pregunto' and 'BAILE INoLVIDABLE' during the halftime show.

Meanwhile, the late Charlie Kirk's organisation, Turning Point USA, confirmed ahead of the match that it would create a 'unique, patriotic event proudly celebrating American culture, freedom, and faith'.
The show was labelled by many as a direct protest to Bad Bunny and featured artists such as Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert and Lee Brice.
However, it has since been reported that the viewing figures were not as good as they had hoped for.
According to the Irish Star, The Good Trouble Show with Matt Ford's official X account revealed minutes after Turning Point USA's show that it 'only drew 5.2 out of the 127 plus million Super Bowl audience'.
The account claimed: "Turning Point USA with Kid Rock only drew 5.2 out of the 127 plus million Super Bowl audience.
"Basically MAGA only got 4% of the audience. A ratings disaster for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point and American Idiot Trump."
Despite the apparent low viewing figures, Kirk's wife, Erika, branded the show as something 'so incredible'. She wrote on X: "The @TPUSA All-American Halftime Show was so incredible. Charlie would’ve absolutely loved it."
Her comment was accompanied by a montage dedicated to her late husband, who was shot dead at an event which took place at Utah Valley University in September 2025.
Donald Trump reacts to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX performance
President Donald Trump was critical of Bad Bunny's performance, labelling it as 'the worst ever'.
He posted on Truth Social: "The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence.
"Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.
"This 'Show' is just a 'slap in the face' to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day - including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History!"
