Speculation over surprise guests is at a fever pitch. One name is already locked in: longtime collaborator SZA, which is of no surprise since the two announced they'd be going on tour together. This is Kendrick Lamar though so there will be more guests.

Playing the biggest stage in the game at the Super Bowl halftime show, Kendrick Lamar will tap into the combative energy that will be going down between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

In 2022, Lamar was a supporting performer during the Super Bowl 56 halftime show. The “legends of hip hop” lineup also featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak. However, three years later, Lamar will headline the show with SZA.
