Gabby Barrett is currently trending due to her involvement in a notable event surrounding the Super Bowl. She has been announced as a performer for an alternative halftime show organized by Turning Point USA, alongside Kid Rock. This increase in visibility is significant as it connects her with a high-profile event that garners wide public attention.
The alternative Super Bowl halftime show has emerged as a response to perceived backlash against the NFL’s official halftime events. News coverage from multiple outlets has highlighted this development, especially given the star-studded lineup that includes Barrett and presents an alternative narrative to the mainstream halftime performances. The uniqueness of this event is likely a catalyst driving interest in Barrett.
The coverage by major media sources such as USA Today, Fox News, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette emphasizes the clash between the alternative show and traditional Super Bowl entertainment, further fueling public curiosity about Barrett’s role in this pivotal moment. As a result, the combination of her participation and the surrounding controversy has led to a significant spike in search interest.

If by alternative halftime show you mean fighting for my life as the beer and wings work to prepare me for a colonoscopy, then yes. I will certainly be tuning in.

this is an elite answer

> beer and wings work to prepare me for a colonoscopy GL, we’re all rooting for you!

So it won’t be much of a “wiping”, but a gentle “pat, pat, pat”?
B
Why did I read that like it was Leslie Nielson in Airplane! ?
S
What’s the wing flavor of choice?
N
Gotta get that hot buffalo garlic. If it doesn’t burn from beginning to (rear) end I don’t want it.
S
Nice choice! I’m a big fan of Cajun dry rub wings and then dipping in a side of hot sauce
T
There’s a place in Pittsburgh with the best buffalo garlic wings. I’d kill for some right now 😭
B
Mango Habanero for me! I get that BWW sauce in gallon size for this day!!
N
If I’m at BWW, at least half that order is always mango hab. Top tier sauce.
K
Haha in this we are united
C
Here’s a real partisan question…drums or flats?
C
Flats all the way. More meat and easier to eat once you know the trick.
B
‘Chickens don’t want you to know this one simple trick.’
C
More like “wing stop doesn’t want you to know this one simple trick”. Most wing places around me have pretty much stopped doing flats only orders except Bdubs and I hate going there because its always obscenely loud.
B
Yeah, that’s even more correct.
N
Flats are absolutely the way to go
N
We don’t discriminate in this house bruther
U
Hell no. Bad Bunny is good and Greenday is awesome
T
If you told 14 year old me that one day “American Idiot” might get played at the Super Bowl… I would have been so damn excited.
S
I never heard of Bad Bunny until the Shakira half time show where he had a brief appearance. I loved Shakira. J Lo? meh [https://youtu.be/pILCn6VO\_RU](https://youtu.be/pILCn6VO_RU)
P
Most people don’t care about politics so much and the real half time show has much more famous modern performers.
G
Green Day is performing
M
Green Day is eternal
J
Green day is opening the super bowl, right?
A
Aye! Puerto Rican drake is fine by me, I’ll be watching only understanding half of what he’s saying
W
Not a bad bunny fan, but I love Green Day! Also, that alternate half time show, looks like hot garbage, lol
M
Is it streaming on a different platform? How embarrassing
K
Blech. Kid Rock is awful. I don’t know Bad Bunny. It’s hard to imagine it being worse that Kid Rock. I don’t see why they didn’t just have Green Day do the whole halftime show. That would have been better. They’re Bay Area locals too. I don’t always agree with Billie Joe’s politics but like the band is great. I’ve heard Bad Bunny is fun and entertaining. I’m receptive to a lot of genres across rock / electronic / pop, though he seems to be a fusion of several genres I’m much more “meh” about. I’ll tune in, and if it sucks I’ll just get more beer then.
B
They might have chosen not to do Green Day BECAUSE of the politics. I’d prefer them though.
D
bad bunny is really fun, is a nice guy, and loves his home island a lot (puerto rico). plus hes *immensely* popular across the entire US and the world at large. pretty much a perfect candidate for the SB half time show. hes very popular with younger people
K
I mean, honestly, I had never heard of him until he was announced for the Super Bowl. I get why they would take someone hot / trending up, but like he’s got pretty low recognition for anyone over 35. For a while their format was legacy act with cameos by up and comers which I *think* is a bit more universal but hey maybe that’s just me.
D
It’s not an age thing, but a genre thing. For instance, my family and extended family are Latino (big mix, long story lol) and everyone from 12 year olds to 65 year olds know him and play him. But if you don’t have any exposure to reggaeton then you likely will have never heard of him. He hasn’t made any English crossover either.
T
Can’t we please keep the SB non political! Let’s go Patriots! Edit I posted in the wrong spot, wasn’t meant for you OP
J
Yeah let’s keep politics out of this. Fuck the Pats!
B
10 years ago I was a conservative. I would skip Green Day. Change the channel, got up and do something else, but certainly not turn on whatever channel Kid Rock was performing.
S
They are actually getting this off the ground? I remember them joking about this but after everything i didn’t think it stood a chance. And no, I’ll be passively watching the superbowl at best so swapping to something different won’t make much of a difference.
R
Not watching either. Probably will be on a Minecraft LAN party w my kids and my friends kids
I
Based
G
Perhaps. Maybe. Maybe not. Honestly I’m probably not even going to watch the Super Bowl. It’s become too political, the commercials are nowhere near the quality they were 20 years ago, and neither team really interests me.
B
I only know when the superbowl is because someone brought it up the other day.
G
I don’t watch any half time show.
B
Same here. I haven’t watched a halftime show maybe ever, but then again, I’m not the poor wife/gf who got dragged along to my buddy’s place for football, hot wings, bean dip, and beer, so I’m 100% in favor of giving these poor souls SOMETHING for everything they tolerate from us. Shoot, send Maroon 5 or NSYNC or Rihanna out again for all I care. I don’t care enough to change the station, but nobody’s forcing me to watch it either.
B
This is the way – is there a hockey game that night or what?
L
> This is the way – is there a hockey game that night or what? I’m here for the commercials. Mute the game and unmute when they go to break.
B
That’s not bad. I could do that if there were quality snacks present
M
What ever happened to the American tradition of gathering the family and turning to the lingerie bowl during halftime. Those girls worked hard all year just to prepare for the game. Some people have no respect for tradition.
O
No; I don’t indulge whiny losers.
