Kendrick Lamar Announces SZA as Special Guest for Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in New Trailer

Joining Kendrick Lamar for his headlining Super Bowl LIX Apple Music Halftime Show performance will be none other than SZA.

Just three months ahead of the artists' 19-city Grand National Tour, on Thursday (Jan. 23), Kendrick dropped a teaser that SZA will be a guest performer on the Caesars Superdome field.

In the teaser, soundtracked by GNX cut "hey now," Kendrick talks on the phone with someone about inviting another artist to the performance before the four-time Grammy winner sneaks up on him, drenching Kendrick in a bucket of Gatorade.

While Kendrick and SZA have collaborated multiple times in the last decade, they've continued their rapper-singer duo run on GNX tracks "luther" and "gloria," along with "30 for 30" on SZA's latest project, LANA.

While visiting talk show Sherri earlier this month, SZA expressed that she'd "love" to make a joint album with the Compton-raised rapper, also calling him "a genius."

"And part of his genius is him being so elusive and so mysterious, and I love it. I don’t know what’s going on as much as you don’t know what’s going on," SZA said.

Serving as creative direction behind the upcoming Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show is pgLang, founded and co-owned by Kendrick and Dave Free.

Kendrick and SZA's Grand National Tour begins on April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with stops in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Houston, Detroit and more.
