In a glittering night that saw the Kansas City Chiefs lock horns with the San Francisco 49ers, the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 11, wasn’t just about the intense football action.
Among the high-profile attendees was reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who, alongside her sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, made a grand entrance just in time for the halftime show, missing the game’s first half.
Dressed in an oversized Balenciaga jacket paired with matching pants and knee pads, Kardashian was there to witness the halftime performance headlined by R&B sensation Usher. The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star has long been a friend of Usher and previously appeared in the video announcing him as the halftime show’s lead performer.
Usher’s 15-minute set was a trip down memory lane, featuring some of his biggest hits over the past two decades, including “Yeah!”, “Love in This Club”, “U Got It Bad”, and “My Boo”.
The performance was heightened with guest appearances from music icons Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Lil Jon, and Ludacris, delivering a spectacle amid one of the most thrilling games in recent Super Bowl history.
Kim Kardashian’s ties with Usher also extend to professional collaborations, with the singer recently starring in a campaign for Kardashian’s underwear brand, Skims.
Adding to the night’s star-studded attendance was Kanye West, Kardashian’s ex-husband, known for his controversial persona. West was spotted wearing a black mask embroidered with a crucifix, making no secret of his presence as he was accompanied by his wife, Bianca Censori.
Usher’s halftime show, while met with widespread acclaim for its “spectacular” execution, saw mixed reviews from critics. Mark Beaumont of The Independent described it as “a fun, half-memorable mess,” pointing out that despite the high production value, the performance sometimes felt lacking in the expected impact.
The Super Bowl event was not short of celebrity presence, with Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, Ice Spice, and Lana Del Rey among the A-listers in attendance, each adding their own flair to the evening.
Pop icon Beyoncé also made waves without even being at the game, announcing her upcoming album “Renaissance Part II” in a series of teaser videos aired during the Super Bowl, keeping the night filled with surprises and memorable moments.
