Megyn Kelly is coming after Meghan McCain over the Super Bowl halftime show.
The conservative hostess, 55, blasted McCain, 41, online after the former View cohost praised Bad Bunny’s energetic Super Bowl LX performance.
Sharing her reaction to the Puerto Rican superstar’s set on X on Monday, February 9, McCain wrote: “I’m sorry but I just genuinely question your taste level if you didn’t enjoy the Bad Bunny halftime show. And everything in life doesn’t have to be ruined with politics.”
Mere moments later, Kelly was quick to share a fiery rebuttal on X: “As if we needed further assurance that the “taste levels” of conservative America do not align with @MeghanMcCain’s.”

Fans jumped into the fray, some agreeing with Kelly, others insisting McCain was right that not everything has to be ruined with politics. Even Piers Morgan jumped in — siding with McCain — and invited Kelly onto his show to debate the dust-up.
Challenge accepted: After trading barbs on X, later that day, Kelly was a guest on Morgan’s show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, where she doubled down, arguing that a halftime show performed mostly in Spanish felt like “a middle finger to the rest of America.”
But as numbers show, many disagree with Kelly’s anti-Bad Bunny stance: Per Rolling Stone, the Puerto Rican musician’s streams increased 210% in global streams on Spotify moments after his performance.
