The NFL 2023 is going on in full swing with all the teams giving their best. However, in the end, it’ll be the best two teams out of the 32 who’ll be playing the Super Bowl. Fans are already excited to see which two teams will make it till the end this year. However, the NFL has given fans another reason to be excited by announcing star singer Usher’s performance. But, on the contrary, fans are not happy with the decision.
As per reports, renowned American singer Usher will be performing in the Super Bowl Halftime Show. It’s worth noting that the Super Bowl will take place on February 11, 2024, in Paradise, Nevada. The Apple Music, NFL, and Roc Nation made this announcement through a video on X. In the video, Kim Kardashian calls Usher and tells him about him headlining the halftime show.
In a statement, the singer expressed his gratitude for getting the chance to perform. “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,” he said.
Soon after the NFL shared the video, fans filled the comments section with mixed reactions. Some fans expressed their excitement to watch Usher perform. Others, on the other hand, made their disappointment clear through their comments.
One fan said, “Why not Kanye”. Another one wrote, “Coulda got anyone and got Usher”. One fan commented, “Who asked for this”. Another one wrote, “Bro this isn’t 2005”. One fan wrote, “What a downgrade from Rihanna”. Another one commented, “This gonna be good”. One fan wrote, “I love Usher”. Another one wrote, “Not watching”.
Football fans must be even more excited for the Super Bowl now with Usher headlining the halftime show. However, it’ll be worth watching which teams will get the honor to reach there this season.
How much money will Usher get for his Super Bowl halftime show?
The NFL has announced Usher’s performance during this year’s Super Bowl. After this, many people might be wondering how much the star singer will be getting for his performance. Everyone knows that all these singers and celebrities charge a huge amount for the shows they do. However, when it comes to the halftime performance, it’s not the same.
It’s worth noting that User won’t be getting any money for his performance during the Super Bowl LVIII. That’s because the NFL never pays their halftime performers for the show. However, they rather sponsor their traveling and performance-related expenses. Last year, renowned singer Rihanna also performed without any pay, and it’s the same for other artists as well.
Despite this, artists are eager to perform during the Super Bowl halftime shows due to the league’s popularity. Some time back, Usher also mentioned that he’d be a “fool” if he said no to the halftime performance. Now, it seems like the singer has finally got his dream performance coming.
“I’d be a fool to say no. If things line up the way we would all hope, one day that moment would happen. I’ve had the opportunity to grace the stage in support of “OMG” and Will.i.am but that was one moment,” he said.
It’s obvious that Usher is more than excited for his upcoming performance in Paradise. All the fans will get to witness a thrilling game along with a power-packed performance this year.
