One of the mistakes that went slightly unnoticed occurred during Ludacris’ spell on stage. Poles were set up on stage and female dancers used them as props for the performance. However, during a scene from the show, it was seen in the background that one of the dancers lost balance and fell off the pole. Video footage of the incident is doing rounds on TikTok. At this point, it is unknown who the dancer is and if there are any health implications.

The surprise package of the halftime show was Usher’s roller-skating performance along with the other dancers. It was breathtaking. Usher was flawless and fans were in awe of the fact that he was not missing a beat while singing and dancing on roller skates.
In his Billboard cover story, Usher said he had studied past Super Bowl acts. He also said that he practiced skating at his Las Vegas residency. “I’ve watched every performer, analyzing how they maximized those 12 minutes,” he shared. “But you know, your moment is your moment. And this is a moment I’ve prepared for during the last 30 years.”
An advertisement for a Super Bowl sponsor was also released where Usher fell to the ground while teaching his team the choreography.

The main performance, however, seemingly had a chink in its armor. Usher executed a move where he slid through from between the legs of a co-performer. After completing it, he got up and stumbled slightly but he kept his cool and continued to perform without any hiccups. Moreover, according to TMZ, Usher kept skating on the road toward the after-party as well.
