The musicians Alicia Keys and HER as well as the rappers Ludacris and Lil Jon appeared at his side in the approximately quarter-hour show during halftime of the NFL final between the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Dozens of dancers and brass bands were also part of the spectacle.
Usher himself changed his outfit several times, then took off his top completely, danced on a stage that sometimes resembled a clock and sometimes a fire – and at times even appeared on roller skates. There was a lot of cheering and applause from the approximately 60,000 spectators in the stadium.
