Super Bowl 2024 halftime show live: Usher fans thrilled with star-studded performance as Taylor Swift watches

While viewers certainly seemed to enjoy Usher's show, there was a definite sense of disappointment at the lack of any surprise appearances from Justin Bieber, who was there on the field.

As a reminder, Usher was Bieber's mentor after he was discovered by music manager Scooter Braun. They later collaborated on Bieber's hit song “Somebody to Love.”

Unfortunately for the Biebathons or whatever his fans call him, the pop singer seemed happy to watch his friend from a box with his supermodel wife Hailey Bieber/Baldwin.

Is this him?! That's how it was done. I can't believe this was the full set, we were all so excited.

Honestly, if you're old like me, this song blows you away every time.

I love the Prince vibes from it, guitar up high and everything.

Taking some cues from Michael Jackson, Usher gives the performance of his life, filled with stunning costume changes, great dance moves, and stellar vocals. I really enjoy how he mixes pop songs with some of his more poignant ballads.

With a gorgeous red silk cape flowing behind her, Alicia Keys performs a stunning moment from her single “If I Ain't Got You,” before a rousing rendition of “My Boo,” her 2004 hit with Usher. Now on to some sausage confessions!

Amid the frenzy over Swift's presence at tonight's game, a clip has resurfaced of the moment she joined halftime show headliner, Usher, during her 2011 Speak Now tour.

The duo performed a fun rendition of the R&B star's 2004 song at what was then known as Phillips Arena (now renamed State Farm Arena), when Swift took some rap verses in place of the track's featured artists, Lil Jon. And Ludacris.

If, like me, you have absolutely no idea what's going on in the sports portion of tonight's event, you'll be relieved to know that we'll probably have 10 to 20 minutes before Usher takes the stage.

Ryan Gosling can be seen crying in his car to Taylor Swift's song “All Too Well” in a new teaser for his new movie. Scapegoat, My trusted colleague Kevin E. J. Perry reports.

The upcoming action comedy is based on the 1980s TV series of the same name, and stars Gosling as stuntman Colt Sievers (originally played by Lee Majors).

The crew of the new film, which is directed by Express trainIt stars David Leitch, and also includes British actors Emily Blunt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Hannah Waddingham, and American star Stephanie Hsu.

In one scene featured in the trailer, which aired during the Super Bowl on Sunday (February 11), Colt's ex-girlfriend, Judy, played by Blunt, knocks on his window and asks if he's crying to Swift's song, “All Too Well.” .

“is not it?” Gosling's character answers.
