The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will once again compete in the NFL’s championship match as the two football teams head to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on Feb. 11, after each winning their respective conference title games on Sunday.

Both teams and their star players will be looking to make history in football’s final showdown of the 2023-2024 season—and so will the NFL. Last year’s Super Bowl was [the most watched U.S. telecast ever](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/%5F/id/36920001/super-bowl-lvii-was-most-watched-telecast-ever-according-updated-data "undefined"). With [viewership up this year](https://www.axios.com/2024/01/07/nfl-tv-ratings-live-events-viewership "undefined"), this game may just shatter that record, too.

R&B superstar Usher was announced last September as the headline performer of the Super Bowl halftime show, sponsored by Apple Music. “It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list,” the 45-year-old eight-time Grammy winner—who is set to release his ninth album, “Coming Home,” on Feb. 9—said. “I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before.” In the past, celebrity guests have sometimes joined the main act, though none have been officially announced yet. A [trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcRLTbQxgcI "undefined") released in January featured appearances by LeBron James, J Balvin, and BTS’ Jung Kook. There will also be several performances before the game: country musician Reba McEntire is slated to lead national anthem “The Star-Spangled Banner,” while hip-hop artist Post Malone will offer his rendition of “America the Beautiful,” and actress and soul singer Andra Day will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing”—also known as “[the Black national anthem](https://time.com/5864238/black-national-anthem/ "undefined")” and which has been included in Super Bowl pregame festivities since 2021. ## Will Taylor Swift be at the Super Bowl?
