Usher's Countdown to the Superbowl

With six weeks left in the NFL season, Super Bowl fifty-eight approaches on February 11 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Usher, an eight-time Grammy winner, is the featured headline performer for this year's halftime show, a top viewed television event. The singer thanked his fans for the opportunity saying, “It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list.” 

He reveals his first call about the news was to Vogue’s Anna Wintour, who he is collaborating with to plan his wardrobe for the big day. Drawing inspiration from his 2011 Super Bowl appearance with the Black Eyed Peas, Usher prepares for a memorable thirteen-minute performance on the world’s biggest stage. While Usher is confirmed as a solo performer, hints of a possible collaboration have sparked interest. The singer also announced the release of his ninth album, “Coming Home,” on the same day of his performance, marking his first album since 2016. Fans are eagerly awaiting the setlist, anticipating hit songs like “OMG,” “Yeah!,” and his latest track, “Good Good.” 

Reflecting on his career achievements, Usher emphasizes the dedication and hard work that brought him to this moment. He promises to perform like no other, honoring the legacy of past musical performers at the Super Bowl. “I’m celebrating the places I’ve gone. I’m celebrating the inspirations. I’m celebrating the music. I’m celebrating the dance. I’m celebrating the idea of this momentous moment for all the entertainers who played it before and how they managed to bring the world together.” Tune in to watch! You won’t want to miss it.
