In a move that’s sending shockwaves through both the NFL and pop culture, Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver DeVonta Smith has reportedly donated $7 million to Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization founded by Charlie Kirk and now co-run by his wife, Erika Kirk. The donation will fund the group’s upcoming “All-American Halftime Show,” an event positioned as a direct alternative to Bad Bunny’s official NFL halftime performance at Super Bowl LX, set for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
According to Turning Point’s official statement, Smith is not only financing the production but will also appear live on stage, describing the initiative as “an act of faith, freedom, and unity on America’s biggest platform.” Sources close to Smith say he views the project as “a moment to celebrate traditional values and American spirit,” signaling his willingness to step into the cultural spotlight beyond football.
The announcement has sparked intense debate online. Supporters have hailed Smith’s move as “bold” and “patriotic,” while critics accuse him of “politicizing the sport” and aligning with a divisive movement. Social media erupted within minutes, with hashtags like #DeVontaFaithShow and #BoycottBadBunny trending across X (formerly Twitter).
Insiders suggest the “All-American Halftime Show” will feature country and gospel performances, military tributes, and appearances from veterans and athletes. If confirmed, it would mark the first time in Super Bowl history that an independent organization has staged a competing halftime production near the official venue.
With tensions brewing between entertainment and ideology, one thing is certain — Super Bowl LX won’t just be about football. It’s about what kind of America fans want to see center stage.
