Sitting at a red piano, Alicia Keys was the first to be revealed
as the two united to perform their 2004 duet "My Boo."
Guitar virtuoso H.E.R. was up next as she took the stage to tear
through a blistering solo as Usher danced along.
Will.i.am, Lil Jon and Ludacris helped close out the
intermission show with a energized rendition of Usher's biggest
hit, "Yeah!"
Despite all of the extra star power, Usher was always at the
center of the action as he sang, danced, tore off his shirt, and
roller skated on a glowing stage at the stadium near the Las
Vegas Strip.
"I love you," he told the appreciative crowd on hand to see the
San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL's
title game.
The halftime show, which is typically the most watched musical
performance of the year, is produced by Jay-Z's Roc Nation label
and sponsored by Apple Music.
Usher Raymond IV has sold over 80 million records worldwide,
climbing atop music charts and bringing home eight Grammy
awards.
He released his first album in 1994 at the age of 16 and his
ninth, "Coming Home," came out on Friday.
He recently ended a popular Las Vegas residency, where he
brought Atlanta culture to Las Vegas and has a North American
tour kicking off in August.
The stadium was packed with huge names from the world of music
including Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift, who was
at the game to cheer on her boyfriend, Chief's tight end Travis
Kelce.
The 49ers were leading the Chiefs 10-3 at halftime.
