“Bad Bunny has performed in drag on several occasions, and denounced law enforcement (ICE) at the Grammys,” she continued. “My concern is that the presentation could lead many unsuspecting people (including millions of children) to discover his obscene music and look to him as a role model.”
“That would be disastrous for their soul,” Childers added.
Alisa Childers Breaks Down Kid Rock’s Performance at TPUSA’s ‘The All American Halftime Show’
Childers said Kid Rock’s performance at TPUSA’s halftime show appeared to portray what she described as his “salvation arc.”
“He started off with a short version of a song that included lyrics that list off people like ‘midnight glancers and topless dancers,’ along with drug addicts and alcoholics,” Childers said. “Then it says, ‘And for my hoods of the world misunderstood, I said, “It’s all good. And it’s all in fun. Now get into the pit and try to love someone.”‘”
Childers discussed how she interpreted Kid Rock’s transition after he sang the first verse of his song “Bawitdaba” into his final song.
“Then it went abruptly to an unexpectedly beautiful and somber string interlude before he was introduced by his real name, where he sang about second chances,” Childers said. “In that context, he encouraged viewers to read their Bibles and give their hearts to Jesus.”

She continued, “As an artist, it seemed very clear to me that the whole performance was his salvation arc. Maybe I’m naive, but it seemed like he listed those people off on purpose…no one is beyond redemption.”
“No one is outside of God’s invitation for salvation. I really liked his performance,” Childers added.
