At the side of Kendrick Lamar, Sza will be on stage at the Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans.
On February 9th it will be really exciting in the Caesar’s superdome in New Orleans, not only for football fans who are looking forward to the event worldwide. Because now it was announced that Grammy award winner Sza together with Kendrick Lamar the half-time show of the Super-Bowl 2025 will deny.
A new Super Bowl Teaser announces SZA
A new trailer by Apple Music was released on Thursday (January 23). The almost 30-second clip shows how Lamar is on the phone in the middle of a football field. From behind, Sza comes from a corner to the rapper. In a subsequent slow motion sequence, the musician Lamar pours with bright blue gatorade, while the bassline uses Lamar’s song “Hey Now”. The power drink is apparently a winking indication of the energy that the two will spray on stage.
The half-time show comes at a particularly exciting time for both musicians: Both SZA and Lamar are currently dominating the charts, with joint hits such as “Luther” by Lamar’s album Gnx and “30 for 30” from the Deluxe album SOS from SZA. But before that, the musical Powerduo together released songs that were highly praised by the criticism. This also includes the Oscar-nominated track “All The Stars” and the song “Doves in the Wind”.
