Grammy-winning sensation Usher is confirmed to headline the halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, as officially announced by the NFL, Apple Music, and the artist himself ahead of week three games. Usher expressed his excitement and gratitude, stating that performing at the Super Bowl is a lifelong dream come true. He promised a show that will stand out as a unique experience for his fans.
Roc Nation, involved in curating the halftime show since 2020, played a significant role in selecting Usher for the performance. JAY-Z praised Usher as the ultimate artist and showman, acknowledging his exceptional talent, choreography, and soulful expression. The Super Bowl, set to take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, aligns perfectly with Usher’s successful two-year Las Vegas residency titled “My Way.”
As part of the promotional campaign, a video featuring the “Confessions, Pt. II” meme and appearances by Kim Kardashian, who attended the residency twice, was released. Usher, known for previous Super Bowl appearances, including a 2011 performance with the Black Eyed Peas, is stepping into the headline role for the first time. He follows in the footsteps of notable acts like Rihanna and Dr. Dre from the previous Super Bowls, promising to deliver a performance that will add to the prestigious history of the halftime show.
