Video: Kendrick Lamar Unveils SZA as Super Bowl 59 Halftime Guest Performer | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumours

Apple Music announced Friday that SZA will be featured as a special guest at Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime performance at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9.

The news was revealed in a video posted on X, which features SZA giving Lamar the Gatorade bath typically reserved for Super Bowl-winning head coaches:

SZA's participation in the Super Bowl halftime show is not a big surprise since she and Lamar have collaborated many times over the years.

Lamar's album GNX, released in November, featured SZA on the tracks “Luther” and “Gloria.” Also, the hit song “30 for 30,” which was released earlier this month, was co-written and performed by SZA and Lamar.

The Super Bowl halftime show will serve as a preview for Lamar and SZA's co-headlining Grand National Tour, which will run from April to June 2025.

This weekend, the matchup for Super Bowl LIX will be determined when the NFC and AFC championship games take place.

In the NFC, the second-seeded Philadelphia Eagles and superstar running back Saquon Barkley will host the No. 6 Washington Commanders and sensational rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Meanwhile, in the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills will meet in the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years, headlined by another showdown between quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.

Regardless of how Sunday's title games play out, things are in place for a very entertaining Super Bowl and halftime show.
