Rock's abbreviated set during the All-American Halftime Show on February 8 has been widely criticized for excessive lip-syncing.

Performers accompanying him, including Brantley Gilbert and Gabby Barrett, also faced backlash.

The event was framed as counter-programming to the official halftime show featuring Bad Bunny.

Kid Rock delivered his signature song "Bawitdaba" and a cover of Cody Johnson's "'Til You Can't," but heavy criticism has been directed at the event's organizers for what appears to be extensive lip-syncing.

The controversy surrounding Kid Rock's performance is just one part of a larger debate over the use of live music in high-profile events like the Super Bowl.
