We finally got an answer to who’s headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII halftime show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on February 11, and it’s none other than Usher.
Apple announced the You Got It Bad singer as the headliner in an edited version of the video for his 2004 hit Confessions, Pt. II. And it was pretty damn cool. Kim Kardashian was enlisted to act out some scenes in between Usher’s sketch from the old video, but instead of telling him about, well, if you know you know, she pretended to tell him about the Super Bowl, and it turned out really well.

Usher makes a lot of sense for the Vegas Super Bowl for several reasons. In addition to the countless hit songs he has to perform, he’s been doing a residency in Vegas for the last year that’s been so successful he recently extended it through December.
Usher follows Rihanna, Dr. Dre and The Weeknd as the most recent Super Bowl halftime show headliners.
