Cameos and a chaotic Taylor Swift: The best moments from Usher's Super Bowl Halftime show.

It's Super Bowl time, baby, which for most of us means watching Taylor Swift at the Usher concert. 

But for sports fans, the San Francisco 49ers played Taylor Swift's boyfriend's team (aka the Kansas City Chiefs) for the Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. 

Usher's Super Bowl Halftime show did not disappoint. It featured bangers like 'Yeah!' and 'Burn', along with special guests Alicia Keys, Ludacris. H.E.R, Lil Jon, Jermaine Dupri and will.i.am.

There were rumours that Justin Bieber would perform, but he was happy enough watching alongside his wife, Hailey Bieber, on the sidelines. 

We've rounded up the best moments from Usher's Vegas gig (aka the Super Bowl) — and don't worry, there was plenty of Taylor Swift moments throughout.

Taylor Swift defied the odds by flying into Vegas straight from Japan.

Even though Miss Swift is currently on tour in Tokyo, she decided to make a quick trip to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce play his little game. 

She rolled in with Blake Lively and Ice Spice, no less! Lana Del Ray was also spotted with her in the crowd. The squad goals have never been stronger.

Post Malone performed before the Super Bowl began.

The show (game) was off to a chaotic start with a rather clean-cut-looking Post Malone giving a folksy performance of 'America the Beautiful', as Taylor and Blake cheered on in the stands. 

Reba McEntire sang the national anthem too because this show (game) just wants to keep us on our toes. 

But all we really care about is Usher!!

Pop your collar, my king!

Usher's Halftime show had sky-high expectations.

Even before the Usher Halftime kicked off, these two hilarious women on TikTok had set the platform ablaze for their pitch-perfect prediction of what to expect. Perfect, no notes. 

All our faves united for an ALL-TIME performance of 'Yeah!'

Ludacris, Lil Jon, Jermaine Dupri and will.i.am came out to sing 'Yeah!' and I'VE NEVER FELT ALIVE.

Lil Jon popped up in the crowd rapping 'Turn Down For What' (!!!), Ludacris burst through the audience with an iconic verse, Jermaine did something (???) and will.i.am wore a helmet and yep... he was apparently there too! 

The gang's all here! Image: Getty. 

I swear when the 'YEAH!' intro beat started, I could genuinely have kicked a door off its hinges.

Flawless show and not a terrible sports game either (I didn't keep watching to see the end).

Has anyone else noticed that Blake Lively is sans wedding ring?

Loved Usher, Alicia Keys and Taylor but not such a fan of Travis Kelce’s physical aggression. Understand it was a key moment in his career and high pressure but we can’t normalise it, especially when every teen girl on the planet is watching. It matters

@sarah09 And young males who may now think it’s ok to rough up their coaches when their demands aren’t met.

@sarah09 yes, it matters. It also matters that this is one of the biggest events of the year, and that the coach has all the power in that dynamic and is backed up by around 60 of the toughest people you'd ever meet. 
It's such a non-issue.

@snorks Players absolutely shouldn't be manhandling their coach. It matters, particularly when there are so many teen players looking on. All that 'power dynamic' won't matter if the irate player has a knife or a handgun in their backpack, which isn't unlikely at all, in America.

@gu3st yes, that would be why I said it matters. 
But there is an unbelievable amount of pressure on them, sometimes things happen. Neither the coach nor the player is worried about the incident. They handled an inappropriate moment properly. 

If they had a knife or a gun I doubt the Kelce incident had anything to do with it.
