There had been rumors over the past few weeks that Apple was planning a massive 1990s boyband blowout as the halftime show, headlined by NSYNC and possibly the Backstreet Boys. That ended up being more wishful thinking than anything, likely fueled by the reunion of *NSYNC at the recent MTV Video Music Awards.
However, there is still a decidedly late 1990s bent to this halftime show. Usher gained popularity in 1997 when he released the album"My Way," and has been cranking out chart-topping jams ever since. Most Millennials remember hearing"You Make Me Wanna..." and"Nice & Slow" on the radio, or watching the videos for those songs on MTV's"TRL" after school every day. Many remember seeing Usher as one of Freddie Prinze Jr.
Usher, who is a 30-year veteran of the music industry, is known as a 1990s artist to some, but he's gone far beyond that. Songs"Confessions" and"Confessions Part II," released in 2004, were modern R&B masterpieces, and singles like"Burn" and"Yeah!" with Lil Jon cemented his place in pop culture forever.
Usher's Super Bowl Halftime Show follows 2023's Emmy-nominated blockbuster performance from Rihanna, who walked on stage with her pregnant belly and announced with no words that she and A$AP Rocky were expecting their second child. The 2022 show was a lineup of hip hop legends, with Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar headlining.
