LAS VEGAS - Usher promised to turn "Vegas to Atlanta," and that's exactly what he did during his Super Bowl halftime performance.
"I've been very mindful of my past, celebrating my present ... and thinking about where we're headed in the future," Usher teased during an interview with Apple Music days before the big game.
On Sunday, the entertainer paid homage to the city that cultivated his stardom by bringing out special guests like Jermaine Dupree, Ludacris, Lil Jon and roller skaters during his 15-minute show.
He, himself, slapped on a pair of skates and gave his audience a taste of Cascade.
"I turned the world to 'The A,'" he said at the end of the show.
