Booking talent can be very tricky—but thankfully, the team in charge of Turning Point USA’s “All American Halftime Show” can rest easy. None other than Lara Trump—wife of Donald Trump’s middle son Eric, Fox News host, and aspiring country singer, apparently—has offered to perform at the event protesting Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LIX headlining performance. Bad Bunny must be sweating.
During an episode of her podcast The Right View with Lara Trump, the presidential daughter-in-law gave a few suggestions for potential headliners for the “All American Halftime Show” including country star Chris Stapleton (who wouldn’t reveal which candidate had his vote in 2024, saying only “I’m voting for America!”) and MAGA rapper Tom MacDonald. Then Lara-who married Eric in 2014 and shares two children with him—decided to toss her own name in the ring. “You know what? You can throw Lara Trump in there. Yeah! That’s right,” she said with a laugh.
She may be joking, but a quick run through her discography proves that Lara Trump would indeed be the perfect choice for the “All American Halftime Show.” For starters, her family is already aligned with the brand founded by the late Charlie Kirk: Donald Trump spoke at the Turning Point USA founder’s memorial service and recently posthumously awarded Kirk the presidential medal of freedom. Performing at Turning Point USA’s Super Bowl counterprogramming would probably give Trump some brownie points with her father-in-law. (Vanity Fair reached out to Lara Trump for comment.)
Lara Trump also fancies herself something of a performer. She’s released a number of singles—no albums just yet—all available to stream on Spotify. Maybe she could begin her set with a crowd pleaser: her 2023 cover of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.” And, hey, if she wants to go unplugged, she can perform her acoustic version, also available on Spotify.
Trump’s original tunes tend to lean patriotic—perfect for an event celebrating faith, football, and American-but-not-Puerto-Rican family values. There’s “Anything is Possible,” a rousing anthem meant to inspire. “Don’t think, just jump // You can’t give up,” she sings. Lara could also try “Colors Don’t Run,” her 2024 single with the Moonshine Bandits, which is about—you guessed it—the American flag. In the middle of “Colors Don’t Run,” there’s a spoken-word section in which the Moonshine Bandits attempt to rhyme ”Bible by my pistol // Pistol by my whiskey” with “Politicking just to trick me // If you want it come and get it.” Bibles, pistols, and whiskey? What could be more MAGA that that?
