Usher showed why he's one of the hardest-working people in showbiz during his chaotic, dazzling Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show at Allegiant Stadium Sunday, offering live vocals, Alicia Keys, some fancy footwork on roller skates... and plenty of sweat!
The entertainer served up soul with a hefty dose of Las Vegas glam, taking the field in a regal all-white look, including a statement cape, before kicking off his performance with dance moves amid a frenetic scene directly on the field that included dancers and an imported crowd, lending his show a rock-club vibe.
There were many eye-popping moments, including when the 45-year-old hitmaker was framed in blue feathers, when he triumphantly proclaimed, "They said I wouldn't be here today," and the moment his duet partner Alicia Keys, 43, was revealed at a red piano clad in a sparkly red suit, a long, flowing red cape blowing behind her.
