Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, has once again stirred up the NFL community after openly criticizing the decision to select Bad Bunny for this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. She also expressed her desire to see the prestigious stage return to its traditional roots — especially country music.
During an appearance on Fox News’ The Will Cain Show, Gracie argued that the Super Bowl has drifted far from the “family–community” spirit her grandfather, Lamar Hunt, originally envisioned when he named the biggest sporting event in America. To her, choosing Bad Bunny — an artist who has publicly opposed former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies — only fuels political division.
“The Super Bowl should reflect American values — respect, unity, and community.”

Gracie emphasized that the Super Bowl doesn’t need controversial or politically charged performers. She stated firmly:
“The NFL honors women, the military, our communities, and this country. The Halftime Show should reflect those values.”
Her comments quickly spread across social media, especially as she praised “The All-American Halftime Show” — an alternative event organized by Turning Point USA and Erika Kirk. Although the performer lineup has not been announced, the show has already attracted attention from millions of fans who disagreed with the NFL’s choice.
Gracie Hunt endorses Jason Aldean for the Super Bowl Halftime Show
While the NFL has chosen Bad Bunny — a Grammy-winning Latin superstar — Gracie believes Jason Aldean would be the true representation of American culture on the Super Bowl stage.
“America loves country music. Jason Aldean would be the perfect choice.”
She even floated the idea of a “pop-country all-star collaboration” and didn’t forget to mention the most talked-about name in both the NFL and entertainment — Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift? Yes — but only after Travis Kelce retires
Gracie joked:
“I’d love to see Taylor Swift perform at the Super Bowl… but maybe after Travis retires.”
The remark instantly went viral — humorous, dramatic, and very “Chiefs Kingdom” — sparking discussion among Swifties and NFL fans alike.

Super Bowl 2025: Who really wins?
It’s no longer just about Bad Bunny vs. Jason Aldean.
Not even NFL vs. Turning Point USA.
The real battle now is the larger question:
Is the Super Bowl still just a sporting event, or has it become a cultural war in America?
And with her bold stance, Gracie Hunt has forced that question back into the spotlight.
