Fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly looking forward to the game, while others are excited about the Apple Music Halftime Show, which will feature a performance by hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick Lamar is renowned for his influential songwriting and is set to headline the biggest show of the year in New Orleans. He has received significant recognition, including winning the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2018, making him the first artist in his genre to achieve this honor. His songs "Like That," featuring Future and Metro Boomin, and "Not Like Us" have both reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
