Usher celebrated both his past and present when he headlined the Super Bowl 2024 halftime show tonight (11 February) at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
The R&B singer headlined the musical extravaganza with a troupe of dancers and special guests, performing some of his biggest hits from the past two decades.
Fans were somewhat disappointed after Usher’s friend and mentee Justin Bieber failed to appear onstage, despite their collaboration on the pop singer’s 2010 hit “Somebody to Love”.
However, they lapped up appearances from rappers Lil jon and Ludacris for 2004 smash “Yeah!”, and Alica Keys for “My Boo”.
The three-hour-long game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers is broadcasting live on CBS. UK fans will be able to watch the broadcast on ITV1.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift is officially in the house, after racing from a show in Tokyo to get to the game in time to watch her boyfriend, Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce, play.

Fans are disappointed at the lack of any Biebs special appearance
While viewers definitely seemed to enjoy Usher’s show, there is a palpable sense of disappointment at the lack of any surprise appearance from Justin Bieber, who was RIGHT THERE IN THE STADIUM.
A reminder, Usher was Bieber’s mentor after he was discovered by music manager Scooter Braun. They later collaborated on Bieber’s hit song, “Somebody to Love”.
Unfortunately for Biebathons or whatever his fans are called, the pop singer looked content to watch his pal from a box with his wife, model Hailey Bieber/Baldwin.
