Fresh off of his Las Vegas residency, Usher brought a star-studded group of his friends and collaborators to the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show. He ripped through a medley of some of his biggest hits, backed by dancers, a marching band, acrobats and skaters with a performance that is being hailed as one of the best yet.
Early in his performance he proclaimed: "They said I wouldn't make it, they said I wouldn't be here today, but here I am," before giving his mother a shout out. Usher was joined by Alicia Keys for a rendition of her hit "If I Ain't Got You", and their duet "My Boo". Jermaine Dupri joined for "Confessions", and H.E.R. performed a guitar solo on "U Got It Bad".
