Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show: Kendrick Lamar

The Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show will be headlined by Grammy-winning rap star Kendrick Lamar. Lamar, who has achieved massive success since his 2012 debut album “good kid, m.A.A.d city”, has earned 17 Grammy wins and became the first non-classical, non-jazz artist to win a Pulitzer Prize for his 2017 album “DAMN.”

Lamar’s most recent album, “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” (2022), continues to dominate the music charts, and his collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin on the track “Like That” spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The artist is also known for his diss tracks, including “Not Like Us”, which made waves during his rap feud with fellow hip-hop star Drake earlier this year.

Lamar will be joined on stage by multi-Grammy-winning singer SZA, who has worked closely with Lamar in the past. SZA, Lamar’s former Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate, has featured on several of his tracks, including “Gloria” and “Luther” from Lamar’s recent album “GNX”. The duo’s collaboration, including the Oscar-nominated song “All the Stars” from the Black Panther soundtrack, is a fan favorite.

Looking Back at Last Year’s Halftime Show

Last year, Usher headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show with an impressive performance, featuring guest appearances from stars like H.E.R., Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, Ludacris, and Alicia Keys. Usher’s performance set the bar high, and fans are eager to see how Lamar and SZA will top it this year.
