We can always count on the Super Bowl halftime show to bring some amazing performances our way, and this year’s headliner certainly delivered. Usher transported us back to the 2000s with his nostalgic halftime performance and brought out some amazing guests to make the night extra special.

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.
