Kansas City Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt Sparks Firestorm After Saying America Needs an ‘Alternative’ to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

In a bold new interview on The Will Cain Show, the 26-year-old daughter of Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt threw her full support behind Turning Point USA and its founder Erika Kirk, applauding the organization’s push for an alternative Super Bowl halftime show to rival the NFL’s official headliner, Bad Bunny.

“I really respect Erika for all that she’s done, especially with creating a halftime show for America,” Hunt said. “Children are young, they’re impressionable… they need someone to look up to.”

Hunt’s comments arrive just months after the NFL announced Bad Bunny as the 2026 halftime performer — a decision that triggered heavy backlash from fans upset over the singer’s criticism of ICE agents.

And Gracie isn’t hiding where she stands.

The heiress emphasized her belief that the league’s biggest stage should reflect “values that unite American families,” adding that she is “most definitely” excited for Turning Point’s upcoming alternative program — a direct countershow during the Super Bowl broadcast.

“As someone who doesn’t yet have young children, I can’t imagine how tough that is to navigate,” Hunt said, praising Kirk’s leadership. “But she’s done an incredible job… leading young Americans.”

She then invoked her family legacy:

“When my grandfather named the Super Bowl, he envisioned something families of all ages could enjoy together. He believed the game should come first — without compromising its character.”

Gracie has thoughts.

And she didn’t hesitate:
She’d love to see Jason Aldean — or even Taylor Swift — take the stage someday.

The heiress added that younger generations are “hungry for purpose,” noting rising Bible sales, faith movements on college campuses, and young Americans “wanting to leave this world a better place.”

Whether you agree or disagree, one thing is certain:
Gracie Hunt just opened a new front in the halftime-show culture war — and the NFL is definitely paying attention.
