Usher has been announced as the headliner of the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show in Las Vegas.
The game – one of the most high-profile events in the American sports calendar – is scheduled for February 11th.
The announcement was made in a video featuring Kim Kardashian, which references his “Confessions Part II” video, in which she calls him to tell him the news while the R&B star is in the studio recording music.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl appearance off my bucket list,” Usher said in a statement. “I can’t wait to give the world a show like they’ve never seen from me before.”
“Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity a reality. ‘See you soon.’

Usher follows Rihanna, who impressed with an incredible performance in Arizona in February this year. It was later reported to be the most-watched halftime show in Super Bowl history.
In the video confirming the news from Sunday morning, Usher appears with the same footage from “Confessions II,” one of his biggest hits of all time from 2009. He appears to be writing lyrics when his phone rings. He replies and says he will call whoever it is back.
“Wait, can you talk? It’s Kim!’ Kardashian says while doing her makeup. “I finally have the answers to these rumors. It’s not about me, it’s about you. You’re making the Super Bowl!’
“You’re playing with me,” Usher says back.
“You’re playing the Apple Music halftime show in Vegas.” I don’t have time to play. First, I’m busy. Second: You make the Super Bowl.”
‘Do you mean that seriously? “How do you know?” Usher replies.
‘I know everything. I saw you twice in Vegas. “This one has to be different,” she says.
