Blige, and Kendrick Lamar in 2022, and the unforgettable Rihanna showcase in 2023.
Notably, this year also marks the second consecutive year that the halftime show will be presented by Apple Music, a shift from a decade-long Pepsi sponsorship.
The 2023 halftime show, headlined by Rihanna, proved to be an absolute sensation, garnering the title of the most-watched halftime show in history, particularly memorable for the superstar's announcement of her pregnancy with A$AP Rocky. The stage is set for Usher to create another iconic Super Bowl moment, promising an unforgettable experience for fans worldwide.
