LAS VEGAS - Vallejo-native H.E.R. joined headliner Usher and other musicians like Alicia Keys on Sunday during the halftime show at the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

The internet loved it.
"H.E.R. is so talented and underrated im so glad Usher brought her out!!!!" someone wrote on X.
Not only did people recognize H.E.R.'s talent, many compared her to the late, legendary Prince.

Performing at halftime is apropos for H.E.R., who shared a picture of herself singing at age 11 at at a Niners game.
"BANG BANG NINERS GANG," she wrote on Instagram. "Let's get ittttttt."
