Usher was announced as a halftime show performer back in September, and he described his Super Bowl show as an honor of a lifetime that he can’t wait to cross off his bucket list. His moment to shine finally came on Sunday night, and he truly made every second count.

After opening his medley with “My Way”, Usher fired up the Super Bowl crowd with “Caught Up” and “U Don’t Have to Call”. Several special guests joined him along the way, starting with Alicia Keys, who performed amazing renditions of “If I Ain’t Got You” and “My Boo” by his side.

The news was announced at YouTube’s Broadcast Delivered event for advertisers on Tuesday. Smith’s project is slated to premiere in 2022 and it has the working title Best Shape of My Life. The six-part series will follow his latest fitness journey with the help of guests including pro athletes, scientists, and experts. This marks Smith’s second project with YouTube; his first was in 2018 and he bungee-jumped from a helicopter over the Grand Canyon on his 50th birthday to raise money for charity.

Keys’ project has been given the working title Noted and it will feature a behind-the-scenes look into her world as she celebrates the 20th anniversary of Songs in A Minor and as she heads into the studio to record her eighth album. The four-part series will premiere this summer.

Liza on Demand Season 3 will premiere later this year and will star actor-producer-creator Liza Koshy and returning cast members Kimiko Glenn and Travis Coles as they navigate life in their 20s.

Other projects in the lineup include Ice Cold from Migos which explores hip-hop jewelry and issues surrounding racial inequality in America, Recipe for Change, which features Asian American storytellers to celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander culture and discuss violence against the API community, and Barbershop Medicine, which looks at the impact fo race and socioeconomic status on healthcare.

Keys took to social media to make the announcement in a post featuring fans tying questions about when the new album will come out. The video ends with Keys saying, “September 18th, oh, oh, oh!”

There still hasn’t been an official tracklist, but Alicia will likely include the singles the singer has released over the past few months which are “Time Machine,” “Underdog,” “Show Me Love” (featuring Miguel), “So Done” (featuring Khalid), “Love Looks Better,” “Perfect Way to Die” and “Good Job.”

2020 has been a big year for Keys as she hosted the Grammy Awards in January for the second consecutive year, released her memoir More Myself: A Journey in March, and faced off with John Legend in a Verzuz battle in June.

This stunning clip, described as a “visual sonic experience” consists of three separate slow-motion shots, which capture different forms of love. They are all-powerful in their own right and see the protagonists finding a way to the ones they love.

In addition to dropping a new music video, Alicia Keys also put together a visual installation inspired by her new song. It will be held at Dolby SoHo in New York between September 18th and September 22th, and she’s hoping that people will interpret it in many different ways.

“I don’t want to tell people what to think. I want people to feel what they feel because [love] happens to people in such different ways that I don’t want it to be my version of it. I want it to be your version of it,” the Grammy-winning artist told Hypebeast.

According to the official logline, this untitled project will tackle an emotionally complex family story that interweaves modern-day and 1959 Detroit, centering on a mystery uncovered by a young musician who moves back to her childhood home.

Gary Levine, president of entertainment at Showtime Networks, said they immediately saw potential in this project after Benj Pasek and Justin Paul managed to round out the impressive list of collaborators, which includes multiple Grammy winner Alicia Keys and Oscar-nominated producer, Marc Platt.

“We have always been intrigued by the prospect of doing a Showtime musical series, but only if the songs could add to the depth and complexity of a great character drama. Nobody does that better than Pasek and Paul and Marc Plat,” said Levine in a statement.

The musician has teamed up with none other than Oprah Winfrey to publish a new memoir. More Myself: A Journey which will give readers an intimate look at Keys’ life and career is described as “part autobiography, and part narrative documentary.”

“I couldn’t be more ecstatic to share this part of my journey so far and all the ways I am continuously learning to honor my truth,” Keys said in a statement. “Alongside my sister, mentor, and friend Oprah, this book is one of the most exciting chapters yet.”

Flatiron Books added: “The result is a 360-degree perspective on Alicia’s path — from her girlhood in Hell’s Kitchen and Harlem, to her career as a 15-time Grammy Award-winning artist, songwriter, and record producer, to the process of self-discovery she’s still navigating.”

“I could feel the power of Alicia’s presence even before she belted out the first soulful notes of the lyrics that made her famous — ‘I keep on fallin’ in and out of love with you,’” Winfrey added. “I knew she had all those sparkling qualities that make stars shine. More important, Alicia has navigated the spotlight and pressures of fame while retaining a humble and beautiful spirit. I am honored she chose to share her personal story through my imprint.”

More Myself: A Journey is expected to hit shelves this November 5 through Oprah Winfrey’s publishing imprint.

CBS confirmed Tuesday that Alicia Keys has been tapped to host the 61st annual ceremony.

Keys is no stranger to the Grammys having won fifteen awards herself. But this is the first time she’ll take the stage as the show’s host. 

“This is my first time. I am thrilled!” the 37-year-old star told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s a little bit of a second home to me. And I feel so blessed to be able to be coming now, just in support of so many amazing people that are honored — especially so many women that are [going to be] honored — and are gonna be celebrated that night.”

“A dynamic artist with the rare combination of groundbreaking talent and passion for her craft, Alicia Keys is the perfect choice as host for our show,” said Neil Portnow, President of the Recording Academy. “Throughout her exciting career, I have watched her become a powerful force within the music industry and beyond. As an artist who speaks to the power of music for good, a role model, and a spokesperson for change, we are thrilled to have her on board for what’s sure to be an unforgettable Grammy Awards.”

“Alicia is one of those rare artists who melds true musical genius with heartfelt emotional lyrics to create a unique approach to everything she does,” executive producer Ken Ehrlich added. “We have no doubt that she’ll bring all of that as she guides millions of Grammy viewers through what we believe will be a very special show in February.”

Keys landed the hosting gig after James Corden who served as host for the past two years. But she ain’t planning on reaching out to Corden or any other former emcees for any advice. 

“No, I don’t need any advice from them,” the singer declared with confidence. “It’s gonna be a vibe. We’re gonna have an amazing time,” she added. 

The 2019 Grammys air February 10.
