The Grammy winner replied, "He's like, 'The Super Bowl.' I'm like, 'Oh, you ready? Absolutely.'"

"And it was like this was destined to happen," the 44-year-old continued. "I think that everything that led up to that moment, going to Las Vegas for my residency for the last two years. The legacy, obviously, that is the music the celebration of entertainment in that place. It's the City of Lights."

Adding, “You know, it's always been a place where entertainers go and find love and passion, connection to their fans. So for the Super Bowl to have made its way to Las Vegas while we were in Vegas, having such an amazing two years…"

Usher previously headlined the coveted Super Bowl gig but with the Black Eyed Peas in 2011. 

However, this time, the eight-time Grammy winner will solo rock the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
