Usher is about to be the superstar of the Super Bowl halftime show.
In the announcement video, playing off the singer's song "Confessions, Pt. II," Kim Kardashian calls Usher to let him know he's the halftime headliner. Super Bowl 58 is set for Feb. 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
"I finally got the answer to those rumors. It's not about me, it's about you. You're doing the Super Bowl," she says. "I've seen you in Vegas twice, but this one has to be different."
In a statement Usher said, "It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before."
"Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon."
Usher, 44, is an eight-time Grammy Award winner with nine No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in his career.
Among them: “U Got It Bad,” “Yeah!” feat Lil Jon and Ludacris, “My Boo” with Alicia Keys and “OMG” feat. will.i.am.
Now, he’ll headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show.
“Usher is an icon whose music has left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape throughout his career, we couldn’t be more excited to have him headline this year’s Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show,” said Seth Dudowsky, head of music for the NFL, in a statement.
“We look forward to working with Usher, Roc Nation and Apple Music to bring fans another Halftime Show for the history books.”

Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul. His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can't wait to see the magic.”
