Usher found fitting three decades of successful music into a super-short Super Bowl halftime show a challenge, but the multiple Grammy winner decided to concentrate on past hits, moments from his popular Las Vegas residency and possibly draw from his new album. “It definitely has been a challenge to squeeze 30 years into 13 minutes,” he said when he addressed the media Thursday._  by [Olivia-Anne Cleary](https://time.com/author/olivia-anne-cleary/)  ## Olivia-Anne Cleary Cleary is an editor at TIME, based in the London bureau. Feb 10, 2024 9:31 PM UTC Usher found fitting three decades of successful music into a super-short Super Bowl halftime show a challenge, but the multiple Grammy winner decided to concentrate on past hits, moments from his popular Las Vegas residency and possibly draw from his new album. “It definitely has been a challenge to squeeze 30 years into 13 minutes,” he said when he addressed the media Thursday.  by [Olivia-Anne Cleary](https://time.com/author/olivia-anne-cleary/)  ## Olivia-Anne Cleary Cleary is an editor at TIME, based in the London bureau. Feb 10, 2024 9:31 PM UTC The [Super Bowl LVIII](https://time.com/shopping/article/how-to-stream-the-super-bowl/) will see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers for the all-important Vince Lombardi Trophy. Hype is building over the halftime show, as music icon [Usher](https://time.com/6693501/usher-super-bowl-setlist-special-guests-halftime-show/) will deliver his hotly-anticipated performance in the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. There’s also another person whose attendance, although not yet confirmed, has been much debated. That is, of course,[ Taylor Swift](https://time.com/6693310/taylor-swift-never-perform-super-bowl/). The singer, who was named [TIME Person of the Year in 2023](https://time.com/6342806/person-of-the-year-2023-taylor-swift/), is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and has become somewhat of a[ fixture at NFL games](https://time.com/6564863/taylor-swift-chiefs-bills-playoff-game-appearance/) over the past few months. Swift performed in Tokyo on Saturday, Feb. 10, for the Japan leg of her wildly successful Eras Tour. Japan is 17 hours ahead of PST. Swift has reportedly since [begun her trek back](https://news.sky.com/story/taylor-swift-begins-dash-back-from-tokyo-to-make-boyfriend-travis-kelces-super-bowl-game-13068373) to the U.S. to attend the Super Bowl. On Feb. 2, the Japan Embassy in Washington D.C. [released a statement](https://twitter.com/JapanEmbDC/status/1753455158460133508), urging fans they needn’t worry, as Swift would be able to complete her Saturday night gig and still make it to the Super Bowl on Sunday, thanks to the time difference. However, Swift’s mere appearance isn’t enough for everyone, it would seem, as some fans are calling for her to be a special guest during Usher’s halftime show. The singer has never previously performed at the big game, and although it may sound like a surprising pairing, given the fact Usher and Swift haven’t released a single together, it turns out they _have_ dueted on stage before. **Read more:**[_Usher's Super Bowl setlist and special guests, discussed_](https://time.com/6693501/usher-super-bowl-setlist-special-guests-halftime-show/) A clip has resurfaced of Usher joining Swift on stage in 2011 during her "Speak Now" tour. The duo performed Usher’s hit 2004 song “Yeah!” at the Philips Arena (now called the State Farm Arena) in Atlanta. Swift, clad in a purple dress (a color synonymous with her _Speak Now_ era), takes on some of the “Yeah!” rap verses, in lieu of the track’s featured artists, Lil Jon and Ludacris. Fans on TikTok have been sharing the old video footage of the performance, expressing hope that the two might reunite on stage at the Super Bowl. One [TikTok clip](https://www.tiktok.com/@marcpenna/video/7329979900247477535?lang=en&q=taylor%20swift%20usher&t=1707519958826), viewed over a million times, states: “The 2024 halftime show be like…” over footage of Usher and Swift performing. The user captioned the video: “In my wildest dreams, to be honest,” referencing Swift’s 2014 hit “Wildest Dreams.” Another account [shared the footage with the caption](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeBuawq7/): “Do you think Taylor is going to perform with Usher at the Super Bowl halftime?” Elsewhere, one [TikTok user shared the clip](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeBH2e5A/), writing: “Who’s ready for Super Bowl Sunday? How awesome would it be if she \[Taylor\] went on stage with Usher?” “This is [how I imagine the Super Bowl halftime show](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeBHYStu/) going!” another user posted. While one fan wrote: “POV: [T-Swizzle at the halftime show](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeBH1N8u/).” You can see the resurfaced clip making the rounds among hopeful Swifties on TikTok, below. ## Transcript [00:00] Las Vegas has been amazing for me having 100 sold out shows [00:04] in a residency and to have the next one you the crescendo [00:08] which is a Superbowl with apple. [00:11] This is really really really get in my time here in Las Vegas [00:14] and incredible button at the end, you know, [00:18] this mean these fantasy list that have been going out and people [00:21] trying to figure out what song I'm going to perform first middle [00:23] class was going to come on the stage with me. [00:25] What I did is I was very mindful of my past celebrating [00:30] my present which is here in Las Vegas and thinking about where [00:33] we headed in the future and that was really that the idea what [00:39] songs do I feel people know me for what songs have been a celebration [00:44] of all of the Journey of what life in love and emotion has been [00:50] offered in my music you knowing that that was that the idea [00:55] I thought about a few moments that was special and dance. [00:58] I thought about something. [00:59] God created here in Las Vegas ice skating and doing things [01:03] that I not, you know done on stage up until this point of to [01:08] be able to share that with the world for everybody that you know [01:11] heard about my show in Las Vegas. [01:13] You'll never get a chance to see some of what I did here but [01:17] you're going to get the best of it because it's before 60,000 [01:20] people in this room and hopefully another 180,000 people heck [01:26] is 80 million people for the world to see, [01:28] you know, I'd been motivated Honestly by artists like Michael [01:33] Jackson and the fact that you know, [01:36] he was a hard worker motivated by athletes like Michael Jordan [01:41] and the dedication that he you know, [01:44] he put into his craft and his his skill. [01:48] He was received not only Accolade but also to recognition [01:52] that would make him a legend and you know, [01:56] that's what I have always hope for myself that you know, [01:59] maybe someday I be recognized in the same light and in the same [02:03] title and those people I just mentioned, [02:06] you know, this being a cup with my album out actually on the [02:10] night. So, you know, this is just really a testament of dedication. [02:16] I don't have this moment by myself all of my fans that I bring [02:21] with me each and every person that had anything to do with the [02:24] music the creativity everybody is a part of this celebratory [02:28] moment. But what I feel is that this is only the beginning [02:32] because I launch that album as an independent artist and I will [02:37] be open to this day the only independent artist who's ever performed [02:41] the Super Bowl halftime show. [02:43] So this is the beginning. [02:46] This is a new beginning for me. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6693591/usher-taylor-swift-perform-together-video-super-bowl/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6693591/usher-taylor-swift-perform-together-video-super-bowl/"},"headline":"Taylor Swift and Usher Duetting in Resurfaced Clip Sparks Hope For Super Bowl Reunion","datePublished":"2024-02-10T21:31:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-19T07:39:31.375Z","description":"A clip has resurfaced of Usher joining Taylor Swift on stage in 2011 during her \"Speak Now\" tour.
