]]>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.
H.E.R. and will.i.am. were right behind Keys, while Lil Jon and Ludacris joined Usher during the final moments of the show, helping him close it with his biggest hit “Yeah!”.
Super Bowl LVIII returned to Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada on February 11, and saw the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers for the second year in a row.

]]>The NFL and Apple Music confirmed Usher’s involvement with a series of cheeky videos that show the skeptical singer receiving a call about his headlining spot from several celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, Deion Sanders, Marshawn Lynch, and Odell Beckham Jr.
The eight-time Grammy winner previously appeared as a guest during The Black Eyed Peas’ halftime show at the Super Bowl XLV, and he’s looking forward to being the main attraction.
“It’s an honor 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. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen,” said Usher in a statement.
The Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 11, 2024. Usher is planning to drop his next studio album Coming Home on the same day, set to feature his recent single “Good Good” ft. Summer Walker and 21 Savage.

]]>The video for “Boyfriend” opens with Palmer getting ready for a girl’s night out in Las Vegas. While taking the elevator down to the lobby, she’s singing to Usher’s hit “U Remind Me”, and she then goes on to unleash her inner Usher by rocking the same outfit as the singer and dancing by his side across the casino floor.
Palmer took to social media to explain she wanted to be just like Usher whenever she watched one of his music videos and thanked him for making her dream come true.
“You have been killing it all my life. As a true lover of the arts, your talent and craftsmanship are a rare combination that I aspire to achieve as a performer. You are a living legend who is worthy of awe! Thank you for encouraging me and seeing me as the entertainer I am,” she wrote on social media.
“Boyfriend” will be featured on Usher’s ninth studio album, along with the recently released collaboration “Good Good” featuring 21 Savage and Summer Walker.

]]>Usher is currently working on new music and he released his first single in over two years, titled “GLU”, just last month. He recently set down with Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans to discuss his plans for the future, including the possibility of headlining the Super Bowl.
“I’d be a fool to say no. If things line up the way we would all hope, one day that moment would happen… I think I have a catalog that obviously speaks for itself, so to be able to celebrate on that day, it’s obviously about football, but everybody really anticipates the performance,” he told Access Hollywood.
Even though he never served as the Super Bowl headliner, Usher was lucky enough to make an appearance at the NFL championship. He joined The Black Eyed Peas on stage back in 2011 to perform his will.i.am collaboration “OMG”. His inclusion would make sense if the Super Bowl went down the nostalgic route, as it did back in 2022, when Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Marry J. Blige performed alongside Kendrick Lamar.

The original version of “Peaches” has been released as the fifth single from Bieber’s sixth studio album Justice. It debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart and hit no. 1 in several other countries, including Australia, Canada, and Ireland.

“We flipped it up, changed the second verse to a female’s story, and I felt like she was great for it. I reached out to her, and it took a minute, but we finally managed to get in the room with each other, and the rest is becoming history,” Usher told Billboard.
