Published

on

As preparations for Super Bowl LVIII continue in Las Vegas, anticipation mounts for the highly anticipated halftime show.

It’s set to captivate audiences during the clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

The Super Bowl halftime show has long been a focal point of the NFL’s flagship event, drawing in millions of viewers annually as America’s most-watched musical performance.

This year’s halftime spectacle, scheduled for Sunday, promises to be no exception. Here’s what you need to know:

 

Usher Takes Center Stage

Grammy Award-winning artist Usher will command the stage as the headline performer for the Super Bowl halftime show. With eight Grammy Awards to his name and a career spanning decades, Usher’s electrifying presence is sure to deliver a memorable performance.

The 45-year-old American singer, known for chart-topping hits and dynamic stage presence, has sold over 80 million records worldwide and boasts nine number-one singles in the U.S.

While Usher stands as the headline act, speculation abounds regarding potential surprise guest appearances, adding an air of excitement to the highly anticipated performance.

 

Apple Music Steps Up

This year’s halftime show is proudly sponsored by Apple Music, the renowned music, audio, and video streaming service under Apple Inc. The tech giant’s sponsorship marks a continuation from the previous year when Rihanna headlined the event, taking the reins from longtime sponsor Pepsi, who held the position since 2013.

Where to Tune In

Football enthusiasts and music aficionados alike can catch the Super Bowl halftime show live on Sunday, February 11, kicking off between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET. The event will be broadcast on CBS and Nickelodeon, with streaming available on Paramount+ for those looking to enjoy the spectacle from the comfort of their devices.

A Legacy of Spectacle

The Super Bowl halftime show has evolved significantly since its inception, transitioning from college marching bands to blockbuster musical performances that captivate global audiences.

From iconic performances by Michael Jackson and Diana Ross to controversial moments like Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” in 2004, the halftime show has continually pushed the boundaries of entertainment.

In recent years, the halftime show has featured an array of superstar talent, including Madonna, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and Lady Gaga, solidifying its status as a cultural phenomenon that transcends sports.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.


The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.


Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
