“YOOOO SHOULD THIS HAPPEN?! 😳,” singer Forrest Frank posted in a reaction video to Cory Asbury’s “insane idea” of an alternative Super Bowl halftime show.

“What if we did an alternative, family friendly halftime show for the Super Bowl?” Asbury said in a video on social media. “Every year, everyone is all up in arms about the performer for the halftime show, and I get it because, 9 times out of 10, it’s raunchy as heck.”

“You’re seeing stuff you don’t want to see [and] you’re hearing stuff you don’t want to hear, especially for your kids,” Asbury explained.

On Sunday, Sept. 28, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny was announced for the 2026 Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show—a coveted 12-15 minute slot that has the potential to be seen by over 100 million viewers.

Bad Bunny is known for his sexually explicit lyrics. In fact, popular Maverick City Music artist, Dante Bowe, was heavily criticized in 2022 for posting a social media video of himself singing along to Bad Bunny’s song, “Después de la Playa,” a song talking about getting a girl “wet” in his bed.

“So what if we threw together an alternate show at a different venue with just the biggest Christian artists and glorified the name of Jesus on a gigantic scale, at a gigantic level,” Asbury said. “I’ve already talked to my boy Forrest. He is ‘down to clown.’”

Asbury interpreted, “That means, [Forrest] is down to play music.”

Asbury asked his followers who else would they like to see perform at this event. “My vision is this,” Asbury said, “blow it up huge. Let’s get a stadium. Let’s go crazy.”

“While people are glorifying money and fame and s-e-x and all kinds of stuff that we don’t want to see, we can lift up the name of Jesus,” Asbury concluded.

Just like the Super Bowl halftime show, Asbury shared that his “insane idea” would also be streamed live, saying, “This would be live during the actual halftime show streamed direct to your TV / Phone whatever praise goddddddd!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽.”
