LOS ANGELES (AP) — Usher emerged at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium for the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show seated on a throne, joined by a marching band and a trove of Vegas performers — but stayed its center.
It was an immediate confirmation of his position as the ideal halftime performer: one with timeless, well-known hits, masterful choreography, and a devoted audience.
He started with “Caught Up," moving into “U Don't Have to Call," Superstar," and “Love in the Club.”
Then Alicia Keys joined in front of bright red piano for her song “If I Ain't Got You,” which morphed into “My Boo," Usher losing a glove in an apparent tribute to Michael Jackson — notable for a performance during Black History Month.
