SZA and Kendrick Lamar to Ignite Super Bowl Halftime Show

Get ready for an explosive Super Bowl halftime performance! Grammy-winning superstars SZA and Kendrick Lamar are set to take the stage at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9th, headlining the iconic Apple Music halftime festivities.  

A recently released teaser video offered a glimpse of their dynamic chemistry, showing Lamar walking onto a football field before being playfully splashed by SZA. This hints at the electrifying performance to come.

SZA, formerly signed to Lamar’s Top Dawg Entertainment, boasts a history of successful collaborations with the rapper, including the Oscar-nominated “All the Stars” and “Doves in the Wind.” They recently reunited on Lamar’s GNX album, with SZA featuring on tracks like “Gloria” and “Luther,” which sample Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn’s “If This World Were Mine.”  

The halftime show promises a unique blend of their artistic styles, with creative direction from Lamar and Dave Free’s pgLang. Roc Nation and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins will co-executive produce the event.  

Both artists enter this major performance at the peak of their careers. SZA has earned two Grammy nominations this year for her hit “Saturn” (Best R&B Song and R&B Performance), while Lamar leads the pack with seven nominations, including nods for “Like That” (with Future and Metro Boomin) and “Not Like Us,” which is vying for Song and Record of the Year.

For fans eager for more, SZA and Lamar will embark on a co-headlining Grand National Tour, hitting 19 North American cities from April to June.  

With their combined star power, history of groundbreaking collaborations, and current momentum, SZA and Kendrick Lamar are poised to deliver a Super Bowl halftime show for the ages, leaving audiences breathless.
