Los Osos High School in California went viral for their performance celebrating Usher ahead of his Super Bowl LVIII halftime show. The school’s varsity dance troop filmed the event on Dec. 29 but released the video on social media this week. So far, it has been viewed over two million times on TikTok.
The dance troop put on a show with an elevated stage, wardrobe changes and skilled choreography. They performed some of Usher’s most popular hits, including “U Don’t Have to Call,” “Party,” “Lil’ Freak,” “You Make Me Wanna…,” “Yeah!” and “Burn.”
Usher congratulated the students on the tribute.
“Y’all didn’t come to play no games,” he commented before adding a fire emoji.
