Usher’s half-time show, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend and Beyoncé tries to break the internet. Takeaways from Super Bowl LVIII

Eight-time Grammy winner Usher kept people guessing right up until the last minute about who he’d have join him on stage during the Super Bowl LVIII half-time show.

There were rumours that Alicia Keys might be one of these people.

Sure enough, Keys made a grand entrance, dressed in red and behind a red piano, belting out her song If I Ain’t Got You before joining Usher for their duet My Boo.

Rapper, producer and record executive, Jermaine Dupri also joined Usher on stage before singer songwriter H.E.R. took to the stage with an electric guitar.

Usher wrapped up his set with Yeah! And was joined by collaborators on that song Lil Jon and Ludacris.

Usher has collaborated with countless stars, so bets were placed on who might join him.

He had promised during an Apple Music press conference that his guest stars would “deserve just as much recognition for what they do in their careers”.

Usher took it back to 1997 album My Way and the hit with the same title when he began his performance, quickly transitioning to Caught Up from Confessions.

Beyoncé tries to break the internet

Beyoncé tried her very best to “break the internet” as part of a Super Bowl ad for Verizon.

She certainly got people talking when she used the ad as a springboard to announce new music.
