Super Bowl Fantabulous, Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show event-historic electrifying performance may broadcast on February 9, 2025, across millions.
A Historic Milestone
Lamar’s headlining act was the very first time ever that a rapper would headline the Super Bowl halftime show as a sole performer. This milestone in history focused not only on Lamar’s impact on the music industry, but also the hip-hop emphasis that the NFL wanted to show in presenting their halftime show.
Special Guest Appearance
SZA, R&B sensation, joined him on stage to perform as his co-headlining act at the Grand National Tour. The partnership gave the performance a special boost, especially with their performance of the acclaimed “All the Stars.”
Best of the Setlist
Lamar’s setlist was a reflection of his great 15-year journey as it comprised a medley of his hits as a singer, appealing to both old-time fans and new ones. Notable songs included:
“Humble”: A much-haired-topper from his album “DAMN”.
“Not Like Us”: A song that caused a huge buzz, especially as it relates to context.
“All the Stars”: A duet with SZA that left an imprint on the audience.
Visuals and Themes
This performance was not only a musical journey; it was a visual extravaganza! The Caesars Superdome, New Orleans, underwent metamorphosis into dynamic stage designs and lighting that matched the energy emanating from Lamar’s performances, which in turn spoke of unity, resilience, and cultural pride throughout the show, resonating with a very mixed audience.
Industry Reactions
Indeed, the halftime show has been critiqued and commended thoroughly. It has been observed that Lamart’s reference is entertaining yet intelligent. “Not Like Us” stood out from the conversations about artist expression and industry relations.
