00:00From the Grammys to the big game, Kendrick Lamar is headlining this year's Super Bowl
00:04halftime show, and Taylor Swift is sure to be in the crowd. Right now, we're breaking down
00:09all the musical moments you can expect during Super Bowl 59.
00:14Sunday's game will see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles,
00:18as the Chiefs try to three-peat and win it all for the third year in a row.
00:21It's going down at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana,
00:24and Louisiana native John Baptiste is singing the national anthem.
00:27Ahead of the game, Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle will also perform America the Beautiful,
00:32and Lettucey will perform Lift Every Voice and Sing, often referred to as the Black National Anthem.
00:37Then, Lamar will take the stage for the Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show.
00:41The 22-time Grammy winner previously performed at the hip-hop-heavy 2022 halftime show starring
00:47Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and 50 Cent.
00:51As for what fans can expect this time around, Lamar's Not Like Us producer,
00:55Mustard, told The Hollywood Reporter this on the 2025 Grammys red carpet.
01:00What is he going to bring? A f***ing monster show?
01:03He's the greatest, man. He's one of the greatest artists of all time in my book,
01:06and he's one of the greatest performers of all time.
01:09If you really go back and study, he's literally been doing this for so long and at a high level,
01:14so I expect nothing but the best. He's incredible.
01:17Lamar has already confirmed that he'll bring out at least one special guest.
01:20The rapper teamed up with Apple Music for a teaser that revealed SZA will join him on the Super Bowl stage.
01:27Now, I've been thinking about a guest performance.
01:32The pair have collaborated on numerous songs, including 30 for 30,
01:37Luther, Gloria, Doves in the Wind, and All the Stars, just to name a few.
01:41Another artist Lamar has worked with will definitely be in the building.
01:49His Bad Blood collaborator, Taylor Swift.
01:54And while it's doubtful T-Swift will join K-Dot up on stage during halftime,
01:58Travis Kelsey's brother, Jason Kelsey, confirmed to People magazine that the Fortnite singer will be in attendance
02:04to support her boyfriend, who of course is the tight end for the Chiefs.
02:07It's all going down on Sunday, February 9th at 3.30 p.m. Pacific, 6.30 p.m. Eastern on Fox.
