Usher is headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show. In honor of "a performance 30 years in the making," Apple Music has shared a new video and one exclusive Usher-curated playlist.
While was first learned that Usher would be headlining the event in September, Apple Music took to X on Friday to share a trailer celebrating the upcoming show. The trailer features fans, street musicians, and celebrities like LeBron James and BTS's Jungkook.

Three thoughts:
2. With no disrespect intended to Usher, perhaps Apple could consider using this incredible platform to showcase an exciting NEW performer we should all keep an eye one instead of — or alongside — a very familiar act with nothing left to prove?
Maybe the NFL actually picked Usher to do the Super Bowl half-time show and not Apple? And what if Apple announces that they have rights to film in 3-D and stream on Apple TV the next day so that people can watch in 3-D on their new Apple Vision Pro?
