Alicia Keys Expresses Her Love For Swizz Beatz Following USHER’s Viral Super Bowl Embrace

USHER’s Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show set had a lot of people talking. One particular on-stage moment with Alicia Keys went viral following the NFL’s mid-game spectacle on Sunday (February 11).

While performing their chart-topping “My Boo” duet at the Super Bowl, USHER hugged Alicia Keys from behind. That embrace led to social media users and other celebrities suggesting the R&B icon went too far with Swizz Beatz’s wife.

Alicia Keys took to Instagram on Valentine’s Day to express her affection for Swizz Beatz with a heartfelt message on the app. She wrote, “I love u sooo deeply. Beyond words. Beyond lifetimes. Beyond skies and universes. We soar!!!!”

Additionally, Alicia Keys shared a second Valentine’s Day-themed Instagram photo carousel. The 16-time Grammy Award winner captioned that post, “You mesmerize me… I can’t wait to spend the rest of forever loving you.”

Many outside observers of the Keys-Beatz household blasted USHER for supposedly being disrespectful towards Swizz Beatz during the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show. For example, Boosie Badazz insisted USHER should apologize to the legendary music producer.

Despite the online backlash aimed at USHER, the Coming Home album creator did not receive any public heat from Swizz Beatz. In fact, the Verzuz co-creator praised USHER and Alicia Keys for their record-breaking performance.

“Y’all talking about the wrong damn thing!!! Y’all don’t see that amazing dress covering the entire stadium,” Swizz Beatz wrote on Instagram. He also added, “Congrats @usher and my love @aliciakeys that song is a classic. We don’t do negative vibes on this side, we make history.”
