Being pre-recorded isn’t what I’d choose to mock it for, but as long as it’s getting mocked I won’t complain.
They prerecorded it that way they could watch the real half time live.
Hang on, they could have done multiple takes and they still went with lip syncing that atrocious?
I got a paywall, but this article links to a Variety article that did not have a paywall for me:

They didn’t even spring for a Joe C hologram.
Brutal, I tell you. Just brutal.
Whole thing had this exact vibe… ironically also featuring kid rock…
Pat Finnerty live streamed it in order to mock it mercilessly. I tuned in briefly but even for the purpose of mockery, I couldn’t take more than about ten minutes of it.
