“You’re going to get hit records … I do want to play the songs that people obviously recognize and the ones that I celebrate, I’ve been able to laugh, I have been able to cry, I have been vulnerable, I’ve been telling and honest … I found really great ways to help us communicate better through my music and that celebration is inside this curation.”

“I’ve also collaborated with a lot of people in the process, so … there’s a celebration there.”

“I just gave it all to you. You gotta decode it.”

– Usher teases what fans and viewers can expect from his upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show, which could include appearances from his collaborators, like Lil Jon (“Yeah!”), Will.i.am. (“OMG”), Alicia Keys (“My Boo”), and Justin Bieber (“Somebody to Love”). The “Good Good” singer, who says he’s been preparing for this performance his entire career, had to keep the news of the show a secret initially, but he revealed to Extra‘s Mona Kosar Abdi that he told Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour before his family. He explained, “I called her and I said, ‘Hey, I gotta tell you something,’ and I shared it with her early. And the first thing she says, ‘Well, what are you wearing?'” The entertainer hasn’t worked out all his ‘fit details, but he has a little more time before the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show occurs on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, where Usher has a residency.
