The 2024 Super Bowl will be played this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. Though the San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs game is one of the best Super Bowl matchups in recent history, fans are just as excited for the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show starring Usher.
Usher promises viewers “a show unlike anything they’ve seen before,” which means you’re not going to want to miss a beat. Keep reading for all the details on Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show, including what time you can expect Usher to take the stage.
Note: CBS Essentials and Paramount+ are both subsidiaries of Paramount.
When is the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show?
The 2024 Super Bowl will be played Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024 at 6:30 p.m ET (3:30 p.m. PT).
The Super Bowl halftime show typically starts about 90 minutes to two hours after kickoff, or around 8:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. PT).
How long does the first half of the Super Bowl usually last?
Most Super Bowl games last about three and a half hours. That means you can expect the first half of this game to last about an hour and a half.
How long is the Super Bowl halftime show?
While halftime in a regular NFL game lasts roughly 13 minutes, the Super Bowl gets a supersized halftime to allow for moving the sets (and performers) on and off the field. Still, you should expect Usher’s performance to be approximately 13 minutes long.

Who is Usher?

Born Usher Raymond IV, the 45-year-old singer, dancer, actor, producer and philanthropist is known to fans as Usher. The Texas native grew up in Chattanooga, TN, where he was encouraged by his mother, Jonetta Patton, to join a local church youth choir. After hearing him sing, Usher’s grandmother encouraged him to sing professionally.
The family later moved to Atlanta, Georgia, hoping the city would provide more opportunity for the budding singer. A performance on the TV talent search show “Star Search” helped earn Usher a meeting with famed LaFace Records owner L.A. Reid, who signed the young singer.
Usher went on to become a top recording artist who has won eight Grammy Awards, 18 Billboard Music Awards, 12 Soul Train Music Awards and eight American Music Awards. Usher has been inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has received both the Freedom Award and President’s Volunteer Service Award for his philanthropic work.
In addition to his successful music career and his charitable efforts, Usher served as a judge on NBC’s “The Voice” and has appeared in such films as “Scary Movie 5”, “Muppets Most Wanted” and “The Incredibles 2.”
Usher is the father of four children.
What are Usher’s most popular songs?
Known for swoon-worthy hits like “U Remind Me” and iconic dance hits like “Yeah!” (featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris), it’s no wonder Usher has nine Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles. Often called “The King of R&B,” the 45-year-old crooner has been performing live since he was 15 years old.
Usher’s other top hits include “Nice & Slow,” “You Make Me Wanna…,” “U Got It Bad,” “U Don’t Have To Call,” “Burn,” “There Goes My Baby,” “Love In This Club” (featuring Young Jeezy), “OMG” (featuring will.i.am), “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love” and “My Boo”(with Alicia Keys).

NEW YORK — Former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were attacked in New York City on Friday night, authorities said.
The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. on Second Avenue near East 96th Street on the Upper East Side, according to the New York City Police Department.
Police said officers were sent to the scene after an assault was reported. When officers arrived, police say they found a 20-year-old man suffering from facial injuries and a 70-year-old man who had head pain. Both victims were taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the former governor said the two were attacked while “taking a walk around the block near their home by some individuals that had a previous interaction with his stepson.”
The spokesperson said that they were injured “but were able to fight off their attackers.”
Both were taken to Cornell Hospital “as a precaution,” he added.
Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
The 70-year-old Paterson, a Democrat, served as governor from 2008 to 2010, stepping into the post after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer following his prostitution scandal. He made history at the time as the state’s first-ever Black and legally blind governor.

A 17-year-old boy was critically injured and a person is in custody after a gunman opened fire on a SEPTA bus in North Philadelphia Friday evening, police said.
At around 6:15 p.m., Philadelphia police were notified about a shooting on a SEPTA bus traveling on Allegheny Avenue near 3rd and 4th streets in North Philadelphia, Inspector D F Pace told CBS News Philadelphia.
There were an estimated 30 people on the bus at the time of the shooting, Pace said, but only the 17-year-old boy was believed to have been shot. Investigators said they believe it was a targeted attack on the teenager and that he was shot in the back of the bus at close range.
According to Pace, the SEPTA bus driver alerted a control center about the shooting, which then relayed the message to Philadelphia police, who responded to the scene shortly.
Officers arrived at the scene and found at least one spent shell casing and blood on the bus, but no shooting victim, Pace said. Investigators later discovered the 17-year-old had been taken to Temple University Hospital where he is said to be in critical condition, according to police.

Through their preliminary investigation, police learned those involved in the SEPTA shooting may have fled in a silver-colored Kia.
Authorities then found a car matching the description of the Kia speeding in the area and a pursuit began, Pace said. Police got help from a PPD helicopter as they followed the Kia, which ended up crashing at 5th and Greenwood streets in East Mount Airy. Pace said the Kia crashed into a parked car.
The driver of the crashed car ran away but police were still able to take them into custody, Pace said.
Investigators believe there was a second person involved in the shooting who ran from the car before it crashed. Police said they believe this person escaped near Allegheny Avenue and 4th Street, leaving a coat behind.
According to Pace, police also found a gun and a group of spent shell casings believed to be involved in the shooting in the same area.
“It’s very possible that there may have been a shooting inside the bus and also shots fired from outside of the bus toward the bus,” Pace said, “We’re still trying to piece all that together at this time.”
This is an active investigation and police are reviewing surveillance footage from the SEPTA bus.
