Usher has been announced as the headline act for the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show, scheduled for February 11 in Las Vegas. The announcement was made via a video featuring Kim Kardashian, referencing his 2009 hit 'Confessions Part II'.
In the video, Kardashian calls Usher while he is recording in the studio, telling him: 'You're doing the Super Bowl!' The R&B star expressed his honour, stating: 'It's an honour of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list.'
Usher follows Rihanna, whose 2023 halftime show in Arizona was the most-watched in Super Bowl history. The 2024 game will be broadcast on CBS, with the halftime show sponsored by Apple Music.
The Kansas City Chiefs, who defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in the 2023 Super Bowl, are among the favourites to return. Chiefs star Travis Kelce has been romantically linked to Taylor Swift, who was also rumoured for the halftime slot.
