SUMMARY
- Usher surprised everyone with a roller skating segment at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show.
- A rumor began after the show that one of the dancers fell off stage but there was no video proof.
Super Bowl LVIII was lit up by Usher’s extraordinary performance on roller skates. Fans were surprised to see the pop star pull out the roller skates and perform seamlessly except for a small mishap. He barely missed a beat. However, it was being rumored that someone fell off the stage during the roller skating segment.
It was seen in one footage that one of the dancers fell off the pole during Ludacris’ performance. Many defended it stating that it was a way of getting off the pole fast.
There was also a tough spot for Usher. He slid through between the legs of will.i.am in roller skates flawlessly and got up. However, right after he got up, he almost fell but controlled himself and went on with the performance.
@loulouorange On the bright side, I did get to meet Taylor Swift and Blake Lively and hang out for a few minutes in their suite. They honestly couldn’t have been nicer 💕 #superbowl #superbowl2024 #usher #usherhalftime #halftimeshow #halftimeshow2024 #chiefs #taylorswift #blakelively ♬ original sound – Louisa Melcher
The rumor about a dancer falling off the stage does not have a video backup. It does, however, have a victim. A woman named Louisa Melcher (@loulouorange on TikTok) claimed that it was her who fell off the stage. She posted a video of herself bruised while narrating her story and began with, “It’s me. I am the roller skater who fell off the stage during Usher’s halftime show.”
She had a bruised eye and a strapped-up hand. Her story, however, was deceptive. She said that she is an actor and a commercial dancer. Her agents and managers told her to click yes for all listed talents on any casting sites. This is how she came across a last-minute offer to perform with Usher on roller skates.
The catch – She did not know how to roller skate. She allegedly learned the trade overnight and went to perform at the Super Bowl LVIII. The dancer then met with a brutal accident on stage leaving her bruised.
Fans disagree with Louisa Melcher’s claim of being the dancer who fell off the stage at the Super Bowl
Louisa Melcher’s TikTok video about this claim has received over 22 million views. It was reposted to X by a certain account and received over 3 million views. Melcher successfully went viral with her story. However, is her story real? Many fans did some digging and they were not convinced.
One fan believed that she had made up another story in the past. They wrote, “Isn’t that the same person who had/made up that story about everyone in her family needing to have permission from their billionaire grandfather or something for their inheritance and to not see their fiancé for a year to get married? They said that she’s a habitual liar for fun?”

Another fan claimed that her eye bruise was a make-up job done badly. They wrote, “Y’all can’t tell a bad makeup job?”
Several fans asked for video proof. There were none to be found. One fan wrote, “y’all peep there’s no video context? usually they’ll start the tiktok showing you what happened and then explain later.”
@loulouorange She wonders why she didn’t win a Grammy when the only people streaming her music are literal bots paid for by her label… But that’s none of my business 🙄💅🏻 #grammys #grammys2024 #music #personalassistant #drama #fired ♬ original sound – Louisa Melcher
The fans could be right and this might be a hoax. Melcher posted another video after the Grammy Awards and claimed that she lost her job as a personal assistant to a singer. She refused to name the singer in her two-minute-long story.
