Country music singer Brantley Gilbert performed at Turning Point USA's "All-American Halftime Show" on Sunday, an event organized to counter Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX performance, according to Fox News. The event, which also featured performances by Kid Rock, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett, was held as an alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show.
The All-American Halftime Show was headlined by Kid Rock, as reported by Fox News. Gilbert, who has been a professional singer since 2007 and released his debut album in 2009, was one of four singers at the Turning Point USA event.
In other news, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday threatening tariffs on countries that continue to trade with Iran, according to BBC World. The order, which does not specify the exact rate but uses 25% as an example, would apply to goods imported into the US from any nation that "directly or indirectly purchases, imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or services from Iran." Trump reiterated his stance of "no nuclear weapons" for Iran when speaking from Air Force One on Friday night. The order comes amid ongoing talks between senior US and Iranian officials in Oman.
Meanwhile, the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games officially began with a vibrant opening ceremony split across four locations, BBC World reported. The primary venue was Milan's San Siro stadium, with elements of the ceremony also taking place in Cortina, Livigno, and Predazzo. Despite logistical concerns, the ceremony went off without a hitch, with two Olympic cauldrons lit, one in Milan and the other in Cortina. Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performed "Nessun Dorma" as the torch entered the San Siro.
In Iran, the question of US intervention is a personal one for many, according to BBC World. For Mojdeh and her husband, who traveled to Tehran in early January, the trip turned into an unexpected stay as protests spread and flights were canceled. "Life was on pause," Mojdeh said, especially at night, when internet and phone networks went dark.
