Half of the world remains glued to their televisions for the ongoing Super Bowl LVIII. The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are up against each other to clinch the prestigious trophy. However, it seems more than football, the half-time show put on by American singer Usher seems to have taken center stage. While others are criticizing his performance, it has left the daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman in disbelief.
Amid the NWSL off-season, Trinity Rodman seems to be keeping herself indulged in other sports. The Washington Spirits star is also glued to her couch to watch the Chiefs vs. 49ers. Yet, it seems the excitement of the NFL final was stolen by Usher, who delivered an enthralling performance to entertain millions of fans. Trinity was so impressed by the “You Make Me Wanna” singer that she posted a picture of Usher while performing on her Instagram story. Aside from this, she also wrote a caption saying, “1100000000/10 USHER PERFORMANCE [three heart-eye emojis].”
Looks like Usher has left an indelible mark on Trinity with his enthralling halftime show in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. Notably, Usher wasn’t the only A-lister, as Alicia Keys also joined the 45-year-old. “Bad Girl” songwriter H.E.R. as well as Lil Jon and rapper Ludacris also performed on “Turn Down for What.” Additionally, country music legend and Grammy Award recipient Reba McEntire performed the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Prior to kickoff, singer Andra Day performed “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and rapper Post Malone played guitar on “America the Beautiful.”
