\n\tWhile Usher<\/a>\u2018s blockbuster Las Vegas residency is one reason he landed the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show<\/a>, he makes it clear in a new interview that his preparation began long before his recent Vegas stint.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I got the call, I was like, \u2018Man, I\u2019ve been working really hard my entire career,’\u201d he told Extra<\/a><\/em>. \u201cThe preparation didn\u2019t start within the last two years of performing in Las Vegas. It really started 30 years ago, and my commitment to it and the journey that I\u2019ve taken musically is why I think I\u2019m given that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tThe Dream Setlist for Usher\u2019s Upcoming Super Bowl Halftime\u00a0Show\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tHe got that call from Jay-Z \u2014 the chairman and founder of Roc Nation, which has produced the Super Bowl halftime show since Jennifer Lopez and Shakira took the stage in Miami in 2020 \u2014 and Usher recalled Hov telling him: \u201cIt\u2019s your magic moment. This is it. This is your Michael moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was like, \u2018That\u2019s a lot of pressure, bro,\u2019\u201d Usher laughed. \u201cBut so many incredible artists that I respect played that stage, whether it was Beyonc\u00e9, Prince. \u2026 It\u2019s like, \u2018Wow, it\u2019s the most compact 13 minutes of your life.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSo what can fans expect from the halftime gig? \u201cYou\u2019re going to get hit records,\u201d he teased. \u201cI do want to play the songs that people obviously recognize and the ones that I celebrate. I\u2019ve been able to laugh, I have been able to cry, I have been vulnerable, I\u2019ve been telling and honest. \u2026 I found really great ways to help us communicate better through my music and that celebration is inside this curation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe also hinted that some guests could possibly join him onstage at Las Vegas\u2019 Allegiant Stadium. \u201cI\u2019ve also collaborated with a lot of people in the process, so\u2026 there\u2019s a celebration there. \u2026 I just gave it all to you. You gotta decode it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWe\u2019ll have to wait until Feb. 11 to fully decode what Usher has planned. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t get any bigger,\u201d Usher said of the Super Bowl spot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
