- Kendrick Lamar headlined the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday.

- SZA joined Lamar for “Luther” and “All the Stars.” He closed with “Not Like Us” and “TV Off.”
Kendrick Lamar took the field at Super Bowl LIX on Sunday to cap a watershed year in his career, which has yielded three No. 1 songs, a No. 1 album, five Grammy Awards, and a decisive victory in his rap beef with Drake.
Lamar was joined onstage by SZA, his longtime collaborator and Top Dawg labelmate, as well as his “Not Like Us” producer, DJ Mustard. The performance was narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, who satirically teased Lamar for being “too loud, too reckless, too ghetto” while dressed as Uncle Sam.
Jackson’s role underscored the performance’s red, white, and blue motifs and American flag iconography, suggesting a deeper commentary on what constitutes “American” music, especially when it’s made by Black artists.
Below is every song in Lamar’s halftime show setlist, listed in chronological order.
