Kendrick Lamar Reveals Insights on His Super Bowl Halftime Show Experience in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS – Fans are buzzing about Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming halftime show at the Super Bowl. So far, SZA will join him on stage, but we may learn more details on Thursday when Kendrick speaks before the game.

Ebro Darden and Nadeska Alexis from Apple Music will chat with Kendrick and other performers starting at 10 a.m. Central Time. Kendrick is fresh off a Grammy win, where he took home awards for song and record of the year with his powerful track, “Not Like Us.”

You can catch this exclusive interview on Apple Music and their social media channels like YouTube and Facebook.

This isn’t Kendrick’s first Super Bowl performance. He excitedly returns to the halftime stage after joining icons like Dr. Dre and Eminem in 2022. He aims to bring hip-hop back to the NFL’s spotlight.

While we might get some hints during the pre-game interview, big artists often keep surprises up their sleeves. Rihanna did just that in 2023, revealing she was pregnant during her performance.

This year’s Super Bowl is set for Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. The Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in a highly anticipated rematch.

Curious about the pregame lineup? Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem. Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle are set to sing “America the Beautiful.” Also, Ledisi will present “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

For those who use sign language, the national anthem and “America the Beautiful” will be interpreted by Stephanie Nogueras, while “Lift Every Voice and Sing” will be signed by Otis Jones IV. Matt Maxey will handle the signing for the halftime show.

Each of these talented performers hails from Louisiana, adding a local touch to this grand event. The excitement is building, and all eyes will be on the halftime show!
