Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar is set to take the stage at the highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime show, with special guest SZA joining him for what promises to be a memorable performance. Lamar, fresh off his recent Grammy triumph where he secured two major awards for his track 'Not Like Us,' is gearing up to bring hip-hop back to the NFL's biggest musical stage.

The pre-game media session, scheduled to take place ahead of Sunday's game, may offer some insights into what viewers can expect from Lamar's performance. However, as is customary with such high-profile events, headliners often keep a few surprises up their sleeves.

Other Performers at the Super Bowl

The Super Bowl pregame festivities will feature a lineup with a Louisiana flair. Jon Batiste is slated to perform the national anthem, while Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle will take the stage for a rendition of 'America the Beautiful.' Ledisi will deliver a powerful performance of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' as part of the pregame entertainment.

Notably, the national anthem and 'America the Beautiful' will also be performed in American Sign Language, with actor Stephanie Nogueras handling the former and Otis Jones IV signing the latter. The halftime show will be interpreted by Matt Maxey, ensuring an inclusive experience for all viewers.

With an exciting lineup of performers and the promise of a dynamic halftime show, this year's Super Bowl is shaping up to be a must-watch event for music and sports fans alike.
