Usher would love to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

The singer is no stranger to the spectacle, which takes place during the final of the NFL championship, having joined headliners Black Eyed Peas to sing OMG in 2011.

Over a decade on from their collaboration, Usher tells Access Hollywood he’d “be a fool to say no” to returning to the Super Bowl stage. 

“If things line up the way we would all hope, one day that moment would happen,” he said. “I’ve had the opportunity to graze the stage in support of OMG and will.i.am but that was one moment.”

Admitting headlining the show has always been on his “bucket list”, the Yeah! singer believes he’s at a point in his career where his catalogue is strong enough to deliver a hit-packed set. 

“I think I have a catalogue that obviously speaks for itself, so to be able to celebrate on that day, it’s obviously about football, but everybody really anticipates the performance,” he added.

“Seeing Michael Jackson perform and recently seeing Snoop [Dogg] and [Dr.] Dre… seeing so many incredible performances like Prince… it has always been kind of a bucket list.”

This year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show was headlined by Rihanna, after 2022 featured a massive co-headlined performance from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar shared bill-topping duties. 

Other recent headliners include The Weeknd, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga.
