Usher fans celebrate and try to catch Beyoncé’s performance as he tackles the Super Bowl halftime show
As R&B icon Usher prepares for his first Super Bowl halftime show, fans trend number one on X (formerly Twitter) as they try to manifest a Beyoncé performance while trolling fans who say that his catalog is not comprehensive enough for the title.
usher (And (His fans) get the last laugh from doubters who argue he doesn’t have enough material to make headlines Super Bowl after he was announced as Halftime show Headliners. Now if they could just bring their dream collaborations to the stage, so Beyonce.
Kim Kardashian helped the R&B legend make the big announcement in a cute clip of her telling him the big news – in a mashup with his classic “Confessions” video – and then tried to sell him for a dozen or more cards for her huge family to gain.
The news immediately propelled his name to the top of trending topics on X (formerly Twitter).
Among the announcement stories and general excitement was a growing onslaught of posts aimed at encouraging Beyoncé, who has collaborated with Usher on both “Bad Girl” and “Love in This Club” as well as some of his works, to appear again at the Halftime Show to allow other largest cohorts.
Last year, fans eagerly awaited possible appearances by many of them Rihanna’s staff, but she only shared the stage with her bundle of joy and surprised everyone with perhaps the most-watched pregnancy announcement of all time.
Usher has even more song partners to choose from should he decide to share the stage. Among them are Beyoncé, Diddy, Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Jay Z, drake, Ludacris, Wilhelmand of course, Justin Bieber, among many others. He could make it an all-star extravaganza or a solo jam.

Fans are understandably screaming “Yes!” After the big announcement, they are sharing their excitement on social media and looking forward to what hits he will bring with him.
Social media also had a lot of fun teasing those users who heard rumors of an Usher SB and then confidently claimed that his catalog wasn’t deep enough to support that kind of show. When we share the posts that haven’t aged well at all, let’s just say there was a lot of good-natured trolling.

As one of the most entertaining dancers and performers in the industry, Usher is sure to bring the spectacle that people expect at the Super Bowl – but will he be bringing friends?

Anyone out here complaining about USHER headlining the SuperBowl is saying to themselves, “You don’t really know music, do you stink?” pic.twitter.com/FfSGueYOSK

People say Usher isn’t “relevant enough” for the Superbowl, but you all made fun of Katy Perry and Maroon 5 pic.twitter.com/hfV54mXNwU

Where are all the people who said Usher could never reach the Super Bowl because he doesn’t have enough hits and doesn’t appeal to “everyone”? pic.twitter.com/wCGyTpFwPD

Usher’s residency is so good that the NFL asked if they could play a little game at his concert, and the ever-gracious artist agreed.

Usher’s capture of the coveted Super Bowl spot is so overdue, years overdue even. But this timing is excellent – his undeniable Vegas dominance, his Tiny Desk, small resurgences on the charts of late. It’s time for Usher’s redemption. And above all, a celebration of heritage.
