To make the big announcement, The NFL used Usher’s classic intro for his song “Confessions” with Kim Kardashian and University of Colorado Buffaloes head coach and NFL Legend Deion Sanders giving the star the big news.
Jay-Z and his Roc Nation return to produce the halftime show for the fifth year. Last year, pop star Rihanna performed and announced that she was pregnant with her 2nd child with rapper A$AP Rocky. In the press release, Jay-Z talks about the eight-time Grammy Award-winning singer, saying “Usher is the ultimate artist and showman. Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he’s been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul.”
