Forget about goal posts! Usher could bring stripper poles to the Super Bowl as the vaunted halftime show’s latest musical controversy.
The NFL has announced that Usher will be headlining the halftime show at the 2024 Super Bowl show.
But a major concern for the star could be how to bring a favorite element of his act — stripper poles — to the notoriously conservative annual spectacular.
The “DJ Got Us Falling In Love” singer regularly includes exotic dancing in his act, including at his Las Vegas residency, and dancers have even been known to “steal the show.”
“Usher plans on having… pole dancers — dressed in a tasteful manner, of course as well as dancers on roller skates,” a source said of the halftime show preparations, “He is definitely keeping in mind that his younger fans will be watching.”
“[He] just wants to set himself apart and make history as one of the greatest performers to hit the world stage,” they added, “Beyoncé, Rihanna, Dr. Dre, Prince and Michael Jackson have all made memorable moments and now that Usher is taking the stage he wants to do something different, unforgettable and over-the-top.”

Why do they invite such losers for entertainment?
The last really good SB halftime was ZZTop. The Who weren’t bad, if a bit geriatric. Prince was not bad either. Most are just too decadent. Rap “culture” ruins everything
It’s not the poles - it’s what the girls are wearing and their ‘dancing’ skills.
Haven’t watched the Super Bowl in at least 10 years.
Notoriously conservative half time show?
Each year it is a continuing pig sty
Usher has been around since the early 90’s. Obviously trying to shock his way back into garbage pop culture relevance.
Got it. I'm '60s to '80s, mostly, when it comes to music. Pretty much anything after that like cookie cutter pop, rap & hip hop sounds like so much trash to me.
Well dadgummit, looks like I have an appointment for a colonoscopy that day, so I guess I’ll have to miss it.
