Super Bowl 2024 review: Usher can flex his comeback, but it was really the Taylor Swift show
Taylor Swift leads star-studded 2024 Super Bowl spectators
Super Bowl 2024’s first rock’n roll moment arrived 30 minutes in when Taylor Swift was caught on camera in her VIP box draining her drink in a single gulp − prompting boos from San Francisco 49ers fans and emotional outpourings from Swifties globally. This presented RnB star Usher with the ultimate challenge as he prepared for his half-time performance. Could he possibly top Swift slamming a beer?
The answer was sort of, and not really because of Usher himself. Before his appearance, there had been mutterings as to whether the 45-year-old singer was still a big enough name to grace America’s highest-profile sporting event. His new album is his first in eight years, and he was last seen holding down a residency in a Vegas hotel. Next stop: artistic irrelevance (just ask U2).
