Usher opened up about his upcoming 2024 Super Bowl halftime performance, sharing his preparation leading up to the event and teasing a surprise.
Sitting down in an interview with Good Morning America entertainment contributor Kelley L. Carter, which aired on Monday, the eight-time Grammy award-winning artist discussed his feelings after landing the monumental gig.
“Itâs been a dream of mine and a bucket list, you know, thing to be able to get it,” he said. “You know, they say what is it, Oscar, Tony, Grammy, Emmy, right?
“You should put [the] Super Bowl there too, right?” he continued with a laugh.
With decades of experience, nine number-one singles and more than 65 million albums sold worldwide, Usher, 45, shared how he plans to compile those accomplishments into his upcoming 13-minute performance.
“I try to get back as far as I can,” he explained. “Go back to the first album if I could. But, you know, itâs literally 13 minutes.”
“I think I just start it by making certain that â my kids approved, I got my portion of it from, for the, you know, the 30 and up, I got them,” the R&B legend said.
“But for my youngâuns, Cinco and Naviyd, Iâm taking notes,” he added, referring to his teenage sons, whom he shares with ex-wife Tameka Foster. “Theyâve been like taking conference calls with my entire team, giving notes.”
Asked if this will be a solo show or one featuring friends, the singer replied without revealing any spoilers, saying, “itâs gonna be a great show.”
Super Bowl LVIII takes place Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
