Taylor Swift is literally at the top of the world. She’s won nearly every big award we can think of, performed all over the world, and has a legion of diehard fans. And yet, she’s NEVER — not once — done the Super Bowl halftime show! How is that possible?!
Well, there are actually a ton of reasons why this hasn’t happened yet!
While the Anti-Hero artist is one of the biggest singers these days, when she started, she wasn’t exactly considered the kind of artist who everybody would want to jam out to — especially not a ton of sports fans. In fact, it wasn’t until her 2012 hit We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together that she really started to make those kinds of waves, followed by her mega-successful album 1989, which spawned hits Shake It Off, Blank Space, and Bad Blood in 2014. This would’ve been an AH-mazing year for her to do the big show — except there was just one huge problem!

In 2013, Taylor signed a “long-term” endorsement deal to be the face of Diet Coke — but up until 2022, Pepsi was the big sponsor for the NFL concert. Obviously, this was a conflict of interest! But, as Swifties know, the musician also didn’t release any new music from 2014 to 2017, so it wouldn’t have made much sense for her to take the stage anyway.
That said, when Apple Music took over the halftime show, they quickly tried to tap her for the role. They even asked her to do the honors at last year’s Super Bowl LVII, but the Lover artist declined. Why?! At the time, she supposedly said she couldn’t do it because she was preoccupied with rerecording all her albums. TMZ sources claimed something similar in 2022, saying the 34-year-old didn’t want to do the show without

Thania Garcia After Justin Bieber delivered his first performance in a year for the 2024 NHL All-Star Game earlier this month, speculation that the Canadian superstar would be making a surprise appearance at Usher‘s Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show was high. Despite the excitement, that moment never came, and Usher has finally revealed why. Speaking with “The Breakfast Club,” Usher confirmed he reached out to Bieber — and pretty much “everybody” — but the singer declined.
Usher broke his silence on why his mentee and longtime collaborator Justin Bieber was not part of his star-studded halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII.“You know what, it didn’t work out with Justin,” Usher, 45, told the nationally syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club, which posted the interview on Instagram. “I honor and recognize that my brother … I think it might’ve been the fact that he was just wanting to tell a different story right now and I understand that.”Before the Super Bowl, there was buzz that Bieber would be a surprise guest during Usher’s halftime show since Usher helped to sign Bieber when he was a teenager, and the pair have collaborated before.But it wasn’t to be, as Usher welcomed guests including H.E.R., Alicia Keys, Lil Jon, Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri and Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas — but no Bieber.“We did have a brief conversation [and] we’re gonna do something in the future,” Usher told The Breakfast Club.
Usher is opening up about Justin Bieber‘s decision to not join him on stage during the Halftime Show.
Turned down for what?Lil Jon revealed the reason Justin Bieber did not perform during Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show amidst fan speculation and anticipated that the “Baby” singer would join his longtime mentor and collaborator on stage. “We wanted to put Justin in the show, so we had the idea of doing a version of the show with Justin in it,” Lil Jon, who performed alongside Usher on Super Bowl Sunday, told TMZ on Wednesday.
Well, this little request just took on a much darker significance…
Even if you’ve never watched a game of American Football in your life, between Usher’s incredible halftime performance and the kiss seen around the world as Taylor Swift celebrated with boyfriend (and winning team member) Travis Kelce, even those who know nothing about football have been enjoying the results of Sunday night’s Super Bowl. For beauty fans everywhere, there’s been one thing that we’ve all been left wondering, though – exactly which red lipstick Taylor Swift wears.
It’s official official!
Thania Garcia Usher‘s Super Bowl Halftime performance earned gold stars for the R&B star’s suave — and seemingly tireless — delivery of his classic hits. Unfortunately, most (if not all) of the negative criticism of the show has been pointed at one of his special guests, Alicia Keys, who delivered a rendition of her 2003 hit, “If I Ain’t Got You.” Standing out in a glimmering red ensemble that ruffled out into an elongated cape, Keys began her performance by launching into a high soprano that briefly morphed into a croak as the cape dropped.
Usher headlined Super Bowl LVIII’s halftime show on Sunday night, bringing over two decades of R&B hits to the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The 15-minute performance featured a bevy of guest stars, with Alicia Keys joining the headliner for two songs: "If I Ain;t Got You" and "My Boo." "Caught Up" was the opening song of the halftime show with Usher backed by what seemed like an army of musicians and dancers.
Usher has paid tribute to the late drummer Aaron Spears during his Halftime show at the 2024 Super Bowl.The moment took place in Las Vegas last night (February 11), as the R&B star performed during the iconic Halftime show at the 58th instalment of the Super Bowl. Held at Allegiant Stadium, the event saw the San Francisco 49ers face off against defending champions the Kansas City Chiefs, with the latter ultimately taking the victory.During the show, Usher brought out a number of famous friends to join him as surprise guests, however, one frequent collaborator was missing from the night – his longtime drummer Aaron Spears.The musician – who also worked with the likes of Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and more – died in October last year.

halftime show on Sunday, February 11, welcomed a parade of famous friends to the stage including Alicia Keys, Lil John, and Ludacris to the stage in an epic medley of his many (many) hits.The show it self was predictably a sight to behold, complete with jeweled thrones, armies of backup dancers, costume changes, roller skates, and—at one point—a very shirtless Usher gyrating like only Usher can.As for Keys, she and Usher looked like the closest of friends during their sweet duet on “My Boo,” which came after she sang a bit of her hit "If I Ain’t Got You" at the piano wearing a bedazzled red catsuit.

Usher's Super Bowl halftime show was met with criticism from fans who were left disappointed by the sound quality. Despite efforts to rectify the situation, many agreed that the performance didn't improve until guest performer Alicia Keys joined him on stage. One social media user grumbled: "Who tf was on SOUND CHECK? Usher mic is not IT cmon now." Another added: "Girl this is a mess....The sound team f***d up bad....
With Taylor Swift in the 65,000 strong crowd at today’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas, Usher couldn’t have had any illusions about who had the greater star power and the media’s attention as he hit the field for the halftime show.
