Usher “turned the world to the A” at Super Bowl LVIII. So it’s only right Atlanta returned the favor by giving him the city’s highest honor.
On Feb. 14, Usher was in Atlanta for a special ceremony. He was granted the Phoenix Award, a coveted honor recognizing an individual or group for their outstanding service to the city, WSB-TV reports. The ceremony was held at the Black Entertainment & Music Walk of Fame and Amazon Music outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where Usher was among the inaugural class of inductees in 2021.
It was a special moment for Usher as he officially unveiled his spot on the Walk of Fame while receiving the city’s highest honor just days after headlining the Super Bowl halftime show and marrying Jennifer Goicoechea, who was there to support him.
“I’m hoping the rest of the world is feeling the love that has come from this city. Atlanta is a city of belief. Atlanta is a city that allowed me to be that Phoenix to rise,” he said at the ceremony.
