Usher is headlining the Super Bowl 58 halftime show in Las Vegas on Feb. 11 — but he’s not the only performer football fans will get to see singing as part of festivities surrounding the 2024 big game. 

Here’s who will be performing on Super Bowl Sunday, as the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers face off.

Usher’s performance at the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show was first announced in September. 

“It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before,” Usher said at the time. 

In an interview on CBS “Sunday Morning,” he said it’s a moment he’s dreamed of for most of his professional life.

“You know, everybody says they want to win a Grammy, or they want to win an Oscar, or a Tony, or an Emmy. A Super Bowl is something that everybody wants to play,” he said. “And here it is. It happened.”

The eight-time Grammy winner has been a hot ticket in Las Vegas for the past year with a residency that surpassed all expectations, and he says the greats who’ve come before him are always on his mind.

“I mean the history of African Americans who had to perform here and couldn’t go through the actual casinos… now, to be here, the residency, it’s like, man. What a whirlwind,” he said.

 In an interview with “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King, Usher shared a piece of advice he got from JAY-Z,  the Super Bowl’s live music entertainment strategist.

“He left it to me to, you know, make sure that I didn’t miss the culture. That’s the one thing that he said. ‘You know, we’re doing this for the culture,'” Usher said. “‘I want you to play the ones that we — that we love, that we know you for. Give ’em the moments that they, you know, look forward to seeing,'” like, ‘Go for the culture.’ And I’m like, ‘All right, I got you.'”

Shaheem Sanchez will also perform an American Sign Language rendition of the halftime performance. The NFL has not yet said if any other artists will join Usher on stage. 

Usher previously appeared at the Super Bowl as a guest during the Black Eyed Peas’ halftime show in 2011. 

Who is singing the national anthem at the 2024 Super Bowl?

Country music icon and Grammy Award winner Reba McEntire will sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. While this is McEntire’s first-ever Super Bowl performance, she told “CBS Mornings” that she’s been singing the national anthem for decades, so she said she feels comfortable getting ready. 

“You just warm up like you do a concert and sing it about five or six times, and get in there, and do it,” McEntire said.

McEntire isn’t the only one singing before the game kicks off. Rapper Post Malone will perform “America the Beautiful” and singer Andra Day will take the stage for “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which is often referred to as the Black national anthem, as part of the pregame performances. 

“Peace & Blessings!!! Performing the Anthem at the SuperBowl yall! Grateful! Thank You God,” Day said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

There will also be American Sign Language performances for each song. Actor Daniel Durant, who started in the film “CODA,” will perform the national anthem in ASL. Actress, model and dancer Anjel Piñero will sign “America the Beautiful;” and Shaheem Sanchez, actor and choreographer, will sign “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” 

Tiësto named first in-game DJ for Super Bowl

In late January, the NFL announced that Tiësto would be the “first in-game DJ” for the Super Bowl.

“I can’t wait to party with you all !!” Tiësto wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

The Grammy Award-winning DJ will play a set as players warm up ahead of the game, according to the NFL. He’ll also play during featured breaks within the game. Portions of his performance will be featured on the Super Bowl LVIII broadcast on CBS.

Kamala Harris will speak with “60 Minutes” tomorrow. Here’s what to know for the interview.

Voters will get the chance to hear from Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday as she presents her case for why she should be president in a “60 Minutes” election special.

For decades, “60 Minutes” has featured both Republican and Democratic nominees for presidents, but this year, former President Donald Trump backed out after previously indicating he would be on the show. Correspondent Scott Pelley, who’d been set to interview Trump, will instead travel to Arizona’s Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of Arizona’s voters and a critical battleground in a key swing state. 

One thing is certain about the election; with the U.S. deeply involved in both the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, whoever wins on Nov. 5 will become a wartime president. 

What Harris will discuss

Israel’s war started one year ago after Hamas launched a surprise terror attack and correspondent Bill Whitaker will discuss the ongoing war with Harris. 

Harris will also discuss the economy, immigration, her record as vice president and the differences between herself and Trump.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz will also appear.

Whitaker joined the Democratic ticket on the campaign trail this week to gain insight into their platform’s priorities and values, and what the candidates believe voters should know. 

Why Trump pulled out of the “60 Minutes” interview

Leading up to the candidate hour, Trump, through campaign spokespeople, was the first candidate to accept the “60 Minutes” request to be interviewed for the special, according to CBS News. It had been agreed that both candidates would receive equal time during the broadcast.

Trump last sat down with 60 Minutes in 2020. He walked out during the interview with Lesley Stahl. Trump referenced the incident on Tuesday night at a Milwaukee press conference when asked about his decision not to participate in the Oct. 7 “60 Minutes” election special. 

“Well, right now, I went to – they came to me and would like me to do an interview, but first I want to get an apology, because the last time I did an interview with them, if you remember, they challenged me on the computer,” Trump said. “They said the ‘laptop from hell’ was from Russia, and I said it wasn’t from Russia. It was from Hunter, and I never got an apology, so I’m sort of waiting. I’d love to do ’60 Minutes.’ I do everything.”

The Republican nominee for president emphasized that he felt he was owed an apology from “60 Minutes.”

“Let’s see if they do it. I wouldn’t mind doing 60,” Trump continued. “I’ve done ’60 Minutes’ a lot.”

In a statement on Tuesday, Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said that Trump’s team had not agreed to an interview.

“Fake News,” Cheung said in a post on X. “60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in. They also insisted on doing live fact checking, which is unprecedented.”

Previous Trump, Harris appearances on 60 Minutes

Trump previously sat down with “60 Minutes'” Mike Wallace in 1985, Pelley in 2015 and Lesley Stahl twice in 2016, first in July of that year and then again in November of 2016. He also spoke with Stahl again in 2018 and 2020.

Harris previously sat down with Whitaker last year. She also was interviewed by Norah O’Donnell, “CBS Evening News” anchor and “60 Minutes” contributing correspondent, in 2020
