Following his five Grammy wins just a week ago, Kendrick Lamar brought his undeniable energy to the Super Bowl 59 halftime show in New Orleans on February 10, 2025, where he delivered an unforgettable performance at the Caesar Super Dome.
True to his word, Kendrick’s performance was much more than just a concert. It was a journey, as he promised in an interview with Apple Music before the event. With a mix of his biggest hits, including “Squabble Up,” “Humble,” “TV Off,” “Not Like Us,” and “All Stars,” Kendrick showed why he continues to dominate the music scene.
What set this show apart was Kendrick’s decision to bring in the iconic Samuel L. Jackson, aka ‘Anko Sam,’ to serve as the show’s host. Samuel linked the transitions between each of Kendrick’s tracks, adding an extra layer of storytelling that captivated the audience.
As if the performance itself wasn’t enough, the halftime show was attended by a number of high-profile figures, including former President Donald Trump, who made history as the first sitting U.S. president to attend the Super Bowl. Alongside him were music mogul Jay-Z and his family, as well as soccer legend Lionel Messi, making for an unforgettable night of music and star power.
The show proved to be a cultural milestone, with Kendrick Lamar’s artistry, combined with an electric atmosphere, creating a moment that will go down in Super Bowl history. Fans across the globe were treated to a memorable halftime show, one that highlighted not only Kendrick’s musical genius but also the power of bringing people together through music.
When the night came to a close, Kendrick’s performance was universally praised, leaving no doubt that he remains one of the most influential artists in music today.
