Starting his performance with his hit “Caught Up,” Usher took the crowd on a journey through his outstanding musical career, revisiting iconic tracks such as “Nice & Slow” and “Love in This Club.” The anticipation rose when Grammy-winning sensation Alicia Keys made a stunning entrance, putting on a dazzling rhinestone-encrusted red corseted bodysuit.

Usher showcased his trademark choreography, amazing shirtless sequences, and perfect costume changes, captivating the audience with his amazing talent and stage presence. From his initial band to a daring display of bare-chested confidence and, finally, a striking leather jacket and pants combination, Usher commanded the stage with exceptional charisma.
As only the second artist to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show in the Apple Music era, Usher delivered a legendary-worthy performance. Hits like “Yeah” and “OMG” commanded thunderous applause from the crowd.
By the conclusion of his electrifying performance, Usher leaves fans eagerly anticipating his upcoming Past, Present, and Future tour. Set to kick off in Washington, D.C., and traverse the country with stops at iconic venues like Brooklyn’s Barclay Centre and Atlanta’s State Farm Arena.
