Gracie Hunt applauded Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA’s calls for an alternative Super Bowl halftime show to go up against Bad Bunny’s performance.

The Kansas City Chiefs heiress praised Kirk — whose late husband, Charlie Kirk, was shot in September — in a new interview.

“I really respect Erika for all that she’s done, especially with creating a halftime show for America. You know, children are young, they’re impressionable,” Hunt shared on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show.”

“Young women, young men and everyone, they just need someone to look up to.” she continued.

Hunt, 26, went on to share that she’s “most definitely” looking forward to the Turning Point USA alternative halftime show.

“As someone who doesn’t yet have young children of my own, I can’t imagine how difficult that is to navigate. But I think she’s done an incredible job leading Turning Point, leading young women and really leading an alternative for young Americans. Football’s becoming the world sport, but, at its heart, it’s America’s sport built around family,” she added.

Hunt continued: “When my grandfather named the Super Bowl, he intended it to be something children and families of all ages could come together and watch and really believed that the game should come first, that football is the attraction and that it didn’t need to compromise its character or rely on cheap appeal to draw an audience, especially when that approach can alienate so much of the fan base.”

The NFL announced Bad Bunny as this year’s Superbowl headliner in September, prompting a wave of backlash from some NFL fans who disapproved of the “Monaco” singer’s criticism of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

“The NFL honors women, the military, this country, celebrates communities. So, I think that whoever they select going forward for the halftime show needs to reflect those values more closely. So, I respect Erika.”

Instead, Hunt said she would love to see Jason Aldean or even Taylor Swift take the stage for a halftime show performance in the future.

“I think our generation gets a bad rap, but I am so excited by this movement I’ve seen within this younger generation,” she said. “They are hungry for a deeper ‘why.’ They are hungry for Jesus. November is global Bible month, and Bible sales are up.

“And I’m just seeing this massive resurgence in young women, in young men, across college campuses getting baptized, sharing the Gospel and wanting to leave this world a better place.”
