Kendrick Lamar and Apple Music announce SZA’s addition to the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show as a special guest during the performance.
Just over two weeks remain before Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show at Super Bowl LIX, and he’s added SZA to the mix as a special guest. The new trailer from Apple Music for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show broke the news.
Super Bowl LIX kicks off on Sunday, February 9, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Kendrick Lamar’s company pgLang is in charge of creative direction for his halftime show performance. Diversified Production Services is producing the telecast alongside Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and Jesse Collins.
While SZA’s addition to the show is welcome news, it’s not overly surprising, given her status as a longtime K. Dot collaborator. The two have been label-mates at Top Dawg Entertainment and reunited on each other’s most recent albums: GNX and SOS Deluxe: Lana. SZA will also join Lamar on their Grand National Tour beginning in April.
SZA and Kendrick Lamar also toured together back in 2018 for Top Dawg Entertainment’s Championship Tour. The same year saw their collaboration on the hit single, “All the Stars.”
Kendrick Lamar’s surprise release, GNX, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Its track “Luther,” which features SZA, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. She also features on the album’s closing track, “Gloria.”
