Super Bowl LVIII halftime show special guest performer betting odds released
Along with the commercials, this weekend’s Super Bowl LVIII prop bets will have a large audience tuned in for action besides what’s happening on the field between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. One popular prop bet for this weekend’s game in Las Vegas is who, if anyone, Usher will bring on stage with him during his halftime show performance.
Apple announced hip-hop and rap artist Usher as the headliner for this year’s Super Bowl Apple Music Halftime Show in September. The 44-year-old has eight studio albums dating back to 1994, the self-titled Usher. He most recently released Hard II Love in 2016. With 18 overall awards, Usher is the fifth-most awarded artist at the Billboard Music Awards.
Alicia Keys, who released hit song “My Boo” with Usher in 2004, is at the top of the Vegas odds leaderboard. The next two artists in the odds are Ludacris and Lil Jon, who both performed “Yeah!” with the hip hop star. “Yeah!” was the longest-running No. 1 hit single in 2004. For the bet to hit, the guest artist must perform on stage with a microphone.
Last year, Rihanna had no special guest on stage with her for the halftime show. However, many considered her unborn child to be the surprise guest.

Reba McEntire to perform pre-game national anthem
Country music legend Reba McEntire will set the stage for Super Bowl LVIII with a rendition of the national anthem. Grammy-winner Post Malone will also perform, singing “America the Beautiful” while Andra Day will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
The performances will occur before the big game, followed by a halftime show by Usher. Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas is scheduled for February 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Raiders.
McEntire, a three-time Grammy winner, has more than 30 studio albums and hits to her name, including “Fancy,” “Consider Me Gone” and “Does He Love You.” She joined the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011 and even received a Kennedy Center honor in 2018. The former Broadway star also earned a Golden Globe nomination for her lead role on “Reba.” She released her latest album “Not That Fancy” last year, as well as a new book with the same title.
Post Malone is a 10-time Grammy nominee. The singer-rapper-songwriter released his fifth studio album “Austin” last year, which featured the song of the 2023 college football season, “Something Real.”
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” performer Andra Day is a Grammy, Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner, as well as an Academy Award nominee. In 2021, she portrayed Billy Holiday in the drama “The United States vs. Billy Holiday.” Day released her first studio album, “Cheers to the Fall” in 2015.
