The Super Bowl stands as the pinnacle event in the American football season. Over decades, it has transcended to a status of becoming a nationwide festival. Attracting over 100 million viewers, its allure is amplified by a colossal half-time music show and the unveiling of jaw-dropping and innovative trailers. Kicking off the Super Bowl 2024 festivities was none other than the Country music icon and Grammy winner, Reba McEntire, who delivered a stirring rendition of the national anthem.

As the game unfolded, the San Francisco 49ers managed to maintain a decent 10-3 lead against the Kansas City Chiefs. Amidst the action, a particular performance stirred the spirits of Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo, adding a layer of excitement to the already electrifying atmosphere.

Eight-time Grammy winner Usher was all set to take the stage for the halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII, creating a buzz in the media. The singer had been dropping hints about the performance, including the possibility of surprise guests. When NBA star Bam Adebayo got wind of Alicia Keys lighting up the stage with Usher, he couldn’t resist sharing his excitement on X. “Alicia Keys Whoaa,” he exclaimed.

In his extensive set, Usher passionately delivered some of his iconic songs. Adding to the excitement, he brought Alicia Keys onto the stage for a collaboration, where they mesmerized the audience with a rendition of Keys’ hit song ‘My Boo’.

Usher then brought in H.E.R., followed by a distinctive performance of his song ‘OMG’ as he adorned roller skates and gracefully danced across the stage. While headlining the Super Bowl 2024 was a first for Usher, it wasn’t his first halftime performance. Back in 2011, Usher made a guest appearance during a star-studded show hosted by the Black Eyed Peas.
