Big Game Music: Usher Is Performing At Halftime


The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will face off in the 2024 Super Bowl. The largest football game in the U.S. will be held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, Feb. 11. But the NFL athletes won't be the only ones playing.

Usher will be the "Superstar" of the Super Bowl 58 halftime show on Sunday.

The eight-time Grammy winner was tapped back in September to headline the halftime show, presented by Apple Music, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, a gig he called "an honor of a lifetime.

A regular NFL halftime normally lasts 13 minutes, but halftime for the Super Bowl lasts longer to accommodate for the setup, show and takedown, in addition to teams' on-field warm-ups.

Still, expect Usher to be on the stage for fewer than 15 minutes.

Reba McEntire
"The Queen of Country Music" Reba McEntire, 68, will sing the national anthem during the pregame.

When Reba McEntire steps up to the mic on Sunday to unfurl the national anthem, betting fanatics will set their stopwatches to time the duration of her performance.

This is not new. Betting on the length of the anthem has been a sport for casual bettors for as long as there have been offshore illegal gambling sites. Thus, a while. This year, the betting line ranges from 86 to 90.5 seconds. The “over” is favored for good reason considering the average anthem performance is one minute and 5 seconds.

”Following the national anthem, rapper Post Malone, 28, will sing "America the Beautiful." A Grammy nominee every year since 2015, he's best known for five-time platinum tracks "Psycho" and "White Iverson," CBS News reports.

The last of the pregame performers, the singer and Oscar-nominated actress will perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
