What Has Usher Said About Performing at the Halftime Show?

In his first interview since the news of his Super Bowl halftime show went public, Usher revealed that JAY-Z called him to talk about the happy news. “Its your time. It’s the magic moment,” he said the rapper told him, in an interview on CBS Mornings on September 25, 2023. The “Love in this Club” crooner also said he told his girlfriend, who couldn’t believe the news.

“The hardest part, really, is the suspense, and keeping it a surprise for that time” he explained during the interview. He also said his kids kept telling him he should play the Super Bowl and revealed that he only knew he was the performer “days” before the public announcement.

As far as which hit songs Usher will sing during the 13 minutes he’ll be on stage, he’s remained tightlipped, but hinted that collaborations are a possibility. “I definitely have a long list of people whom I’ve collaborated with and also, a long list of songs that mean something so much to people,” he said. “So I’m trying to figure out how to entertain people, make certain that they understand the legacy, enjoy the moment, and make certain that they have a show that they’ll never forget.”

Usher went on to name past Super Bowl halftime performers that “got it right” on stage, including Michael Jackson, Beyonce, and Prince. “I’m a praying man and I’m really humbled that I have this opportunity,” he said. “This is something that both my nanny and grandmother really wanted to see happen, and they’re no longer with me, so they’ll be watching from the best seat in the house, from the cloud above,” he sweetly said before adding, “I want to make it the best performance that the world has ever seen.”
