Many have speculated who will be a part of Usher’s Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show and what songs will be performed. In fact, some have gone as far as to bet on what songs will be begin and end his halftime set. During a recent conversation with Apple CEO Tim Cook, the diamond recording artist revealed what song he may be kicking off his performance with.
“I would be a fool to not play ‘Yeah!’ Let’s just start there,” he said.
“It would be foolish to make it all the way to Las Vegas, Jon is here, Luda’s here and not play ‘Yeah!'”
Three decades into his career, Usher is preparing to deliver the most-watched performance of his career. To capitalize on the opportunity, he’s reportedly brought in Alicia Keys to perform “My Boo” and many expect Justin Bieber to hit the stage with him as well. Despite accomplishing nearly everything there is to accomplish in music, Usher is enjoying the moment and taking time to fully embrace the opportunity.
“I love all the cameras, I love the energy, I love the people,” he continued.
“More than anything. I remind myself to smile. Most of the time you get so caught up in being serious and making certain that everything is perfect and has a certain intensity. Every day I come in, I try to give positive energy. No matter how tired I am, no matter how much the day before me will drain me right, I’m smiling. Because I’m here.”
