Justin Bieber Wasn’t In Usher’s Halftime Show & Beliebers Were Not Happy

Ahead of Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show, fans were super hopeful that Justin Bieber would join the “Yeah!” singer for their 2010 collab “Somebody To Love” from My World 2.0. Unfortunately, Bieber didn’t join in during the performance and Super Bowl watchers were, and still are, so sad. The Beliebers will always know Super Bowl 2024 as the day Justin never showed. A moment of silence.

However, Usher still had amazing cameos from myriad stars including Jermaine Dupri, Will.i.am, Alicia Keys on “My Boo,” H.E.R. for the guitar solo on “Burn, and Lil Jon and Ludacris on “Yeah!” Plus, Usher was literally roller skating at one point and was dancing his heart out like it was 2008. With a thrilling performance in the history books now, Usher is officially a Super Bowl halftime performer… and Justin Bieber is not. 

Fans were buzzing all week knowing that Usher was planning to bring Bieber to the big game, but it ultimately did not pan out. However, I hope that Justin and his wife Hailey had a great time in the company of other major stars including Beyonce and Jay-Z, Ariana Grande, and even Gordon Ramsey. Personally, I just wished he was on the Halftime stage.

Still, Twitter/X users were taking lots of time to cope with their beloved Biebs not performing with Usher on Super Bowl Sunday.

In fact, some people are crushed that Taylor Swift didn’t make her way down to the halftime show stage, too. 

Sadly, Bieber was in the stadium, just not on the field. Bummer. 

However, the Bieber Fever is still well and alive. 

My fingers are crossed the Bieber halftime show happens one day soon, so we can break out this fit.

Anyone got a flat-brim hat I can borrow?
