Everything We Know About Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance So Far

Usher is about to step onto the world’s grandest stage, and it’s the show we’ve all been waiting for! Recently, the NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation unleashed the surprise of the year by naming the eight-time Grammy winner as the headline act for the 2024 Super Bowl halftime extravaganza. This sensational reveal came in the form of star-studded video calls, featuring Usher chatting with Kim Kardashian, Deion Sanders, Marshawn Lynch, and Odell Beckham Jr., all while weaving in scenes from his iconic “Confessions Part II” music video.

Usher — one of the most influential artists of our generation, who’s sold over 80 million records worldwide — joins a long line of incredible acts who have graced the Super Bowl halftime show stage, including Janet Jackson, Prince, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Madonna, and, most recently, Rihanna. 

…”It’s an Honour”

The Grammy sensation expressed his excitement.

“It’s an honour of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before,” he said in a press release. Seth Dudowsky, NFL’s head of music, couldn’t agree more, praising Usher as an “icon” whose musical legacy has left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape.

Speaking to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Usher revealed that only a select “close-knit group of people” knew about his Super Bowl gig before the world caught wind of it.

“We’re really excited about the entire thing. Obviously, a legacy, but more than anything, the fact that this is the grandest stage to play on,” said the dad of four.
