Kendrick Lamar Confirms SZA as Guest for 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show
Kendrick Lamar is set to take center stage at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show, and now, fans have even more reason to be excited—SZA will be joining him on stage. The NFL confirmed the news on Thursday, releasing a playful announcement video featuring SZA dousing Lamar with a blue drink, mimicking the classic Gatorade shower given to winning coaches.
A Highly Anticipated Performance at the Caesars Superdome
The Super Bowl halftime show, set for February 9, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, will mark Lamar’s second appearance on the Super Bowl stage. He previously performed in 2022 alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige. This time, as the headline act, Lamar promises to deliver an unforgettable show, stating, “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I'll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”
SZA & Kendrick Lamar: A Powerful Musical Duo
SZA and Lamar have a long history of successful collaborations, including hit songs like:
🎶 All the Stars
🎶 Doves in the Wind
🎶 Luther
🎶 Gloria
🎶 30 for 30
Beyond their Super Bowl performance, the duo is also gearing up for a 19-city North American tour kicking off in April 2025.
A Huge Week for Both Artists
Both Lamar and SZA have big moments leading up to the Super Bowl:
🏆 Lamar is nominated for seven Grammys this year.
🏆 SZA is nominated for two Grammys and recently released her film One of Them Days with actress Keke Palmer.
With their combined star power, the Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show is expected to be one of the most talked-about performances of the year.
Will There Be More Surprise Guests?
While SZA is the first confirmed guest, it remains unclear if Lamar will bring additional surprise performers to the stage. Last year, Usher’s halftime show featured Alicia Keys, Lil Jon, Ludacris, and H.E.R., making fans wonder who else might appear alongside Lamar.

🏈 Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders (NFC Championship)
🏈 Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills (AFC Championship)
With Lamar and SZA set to deliver a halftime spectacle, Super Bowl 2025 is shaping up to be an unmissable event for music and sports fans alike.
