Super Bowl fans were shocked by what they saw as Green Day officially opened the show ahead of the big game.
Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara was officially opened by the veteran pop punkers, but fans were left stunned by one of their choices.
Green Day are outspoken critics of the American establishment
It’s no particular shock to learn that Green Day took a political stance on today’s game.
After all, they have famously been critical of the US government for years, starting back when George W Bush was in power, and have made no secret of the fact that they aren’t exactly keen on Donald Trump.
They’ve made several statements against the US president in the past, and used their platform to do this once again.
It’s probably not the first time we’ll hear someone take a swipe at Trump tonight, as Bad Bunny - for better or worse - is set to perform at the half-time show.
But, Green Day were obviously going to play one song and one song alone to get their message across to the POTUS.
Of course, it was American Idiot.
The title track from their famously political 2004 album, you don’t need a degree in politics to understand the idea behind the song.
Fans were still shocked after hearing the song
Still, even though it was pretty obvious choice, some were shocked to hear it.
“I am a little shocked Green Day got to do American Idiot,” one fan said.
Another shared a picture of a woman looking shocked and horrified, writing: “Green Day performing American idiot at the Super Bowl”
A third said: “Green Day performing American idiot on national tv as they f***ing SHOULDDD”
Anyway, we have almost definitely not heard the last of Trump for this game, particularly as the Turning Point USA alternative half-time show is set to run alongside Bad Bunny’s performance.
You have to wonder which version Trump will be watching, as his ears will be burning at both for different reasons.
