Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show: Who Will Be His Surprise Guests?

This will be Lamar’s first solo performance at the Super Bowl, and it is the first time a solo rapper has headlined the halftime show. It is confirmed that SZA will join Lamar during halftime, but could America’s pop darling also be joining?

Taylor Swift is expected to be at the game no matter what to show support for Travis Kelce. Could she zipline from the suite to the big stage?

Swift and Lamar have a notable history of collaboration and mutual respect in the music industry.

One of the most significant collaborations between the two came in 2015 when Lamar was featured on a remix of Taylor Swift’s hit single “Bad Blood” on her album 1989.

“Bad Blood” was a number-one hit single that won a Grammy for Best Music Video and MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year and Best Collaboration.

Lamar re-recorded his verse on Bad Blood for the deluxe edition of Swift’s 2023 re-recorded album 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

Swifties have posted to TikTok about how they would react if the pop star made her way to the Super Bowl stage.

In a groundbreaking announcement, Taylor Swift has been confirmed as one of the headline performers for Super Bowl LIX, and she won’t be taking the stage alone—Kendrick Lamar will be joining her for what promises to be one of the most electrifying halftime shows in NFL history.

A Historic Super Bowl Halftime Show

After months of speculation, the NFL officially confirmed that Swift, one of the biggest global superstars, will be bringing her record-breaking Eras Tour energy to the Super Bowl LIX stage. Adding to the excitement, Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar—known for his powerful performances and lyrical brilliance—will share the spotlight with her, creating an unexpected but thrilling musical pairing.

“We’re beyond excited to welcome Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar to the biggest stage in sports,” said an NFL spokesperson. “Their impact on music and culture is undeniable, and fans can expect a performance that will be talked about for years to come.”

From Collaborators to Super Bowl Co-Headliners

Swift and Lamar have a history of musical collaboration. In 2015, Lamar was featured on Swift’s remix of “Bad Blood,” which became a massive hit and won Video of the Year at the MTV VMAs. Their reunion at the Super Bowl is set to reignite that chemistry, but on a much grander scale.

While Swift’s inclusion was long rumored—especially given her close ties to the NFL through her relationship with Chiefs’ star Travis Kelce—Lamar’s addition came as a surprise. The mix of pop and hip-hop megastars is expected to attract one of the largest Super Bowl audiences ever.

What to Expect from the Show

Though details of their setlist remain a mystery, fans are already speculating about potential performances.

  • Swift’s biggest hits like Shake It Off, Cruel Summer, Karma, and Anti-Hero could make the cut.
  • Lamar could bring high-energy anthems like HUMBLE.DNA., or even his Bad Blood remix with Swift.
  • Surprise guest appearances? Given Swift’s history of star-studded collaborations, it wouldn’t be shocking if more big names join the show.

Fans React to the Announcement

The announcement sent social media into a frenzy, with fans of both artists—and NFL lovers—buzzing with excitement.

  • “Swift and Lamar? This is gonna be the best halftime show ever!”
  • “Taylor Swift AND Kendrick Lamar? The NFL really said let’s break the internet.”
  • “The world will stop when this happens.”

A Super Bowl for the Ages
