On February 9th, during the halftime show of Super Bowl LIX, Kendrick Lamar will be joined by a special guest: the singer and songwriter Solána Imani Rowe, better known as SZA.
The announcement was made by Lamar, the NFL on their X account, and Apple Music through a video they shared on social media this Thursday.
This is how SZA's participation in the Super Bowl 2025 was announced.
In the clip, Lamar shares his excitement about the event, saying: "What's up? Everything good? I'm on the field. You have to keep the body moving, get it activated, this feeling is much bigger than people think. That's essential. Now I've been thinking about someone as a guest." Then, SZA appears to soak him with a blue drink, a scene reminiscent of the traditional drink shower that winning coaches receive at the Super Bowl.
Who is SZA? This has been her career.
SZA, born on November 8, 1989 in St. Louis, Missouri, is one of the most prominent artists in current music. This year, she led the Grammy nominations with a total of nine, and throughout her career she has accumulated 24 nominations.
Your connection with Kendrick Lamar is not new. Both were part of the record label 'Top Dawg Entertainment', where SZA appeared on Lamar's album GNX, collaborating on songs like "Gloria" and "Luther".
The singer rose to fame in 2012 with her mixtape See.SZA.Run, and continued her rise with the EP S in 2013, marking the beginning of a successful career.
It is expected that the artist will continue to be the talk of the town in the coming months, as a result of the performance she will have alongside her colleague.
