This year’s Superbowl took place in New Orleans, Louisiana at Caesars Superdome. The two teams in the game were the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. The game ended with the Eagles ahead with a score of 40-22.
Every year, the Superbowl features a famous artist to perform some of their hit songs. This year, the artist was Kendrick Lamar. Lamar had already performed once at Superbowl 56 with many other artists.
In this Superbowl, fans anticipated Lamar to play more hits and new songs. He delivered just this, and fans were ecstatic when he brought out SZA, another popular singer. SZA and Lamar have made many popular songs together, and they performed some of these at the Superbowl.
Lamar began his set with the song “Squabble Up,” and then followed with “Humble” and “Loyalty.” His set featured Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam, with his reciting lines about the set and introducing Lamar.
Lamar followed these songs with “Peekaboo” and “Luther.” During “Luther,” he brought out SZA and the crowd erupted in excitement. The two sang “Luther” and “All the Stars” together, making fans extremely happy.
Lamar also brought out DJ Mustard and tennis star Serena Williams during the last few songs. Fans believe he brought out Serena Williams as a dig to Drake because Serena is Drake’s ex-girlfriend.
The final two songs that Lamar sang were “Not Like Us” and “TV Off.” These songs had the crowd roaring in enthusiasm.
A lot of fans believe that there was a deeper meaning to Lamar’s performance. When Samuel L. Jackson came out as Uncle Sam, he urged Lamar not to be “too loud” or “too ghetto” and to play his most famous songs.
Instead, Lamar went against this idea and performed other unreleased songs.
Lamar’s performance was great and exciting, keeping viewers hooked the whole way through. He brought out many exciting guests and performed many great songs. It is getting great press, with many fans still talking about it in the following days after the game.
