Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl 59 halftime show this Sunday, as pop star Taylor Swift cheers on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
Lamar is being joined onstage by his frequent collaborator SZA. While details of his performance are still being kept under wraps, it is widely expected that his Drake diss track “Not Like Us” will be on the setlist. Grammy-winning New Orleans native Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem.
Viewers will get to take part in some celebrity spotting as Swift is likely to be joined in the Chiefs’ box by some of her famous friends. Meanwhile, US president Donald Trump is also planning on attending, which Kelce has called “a great honour”.
This year’s event is taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Sunday 9 February from 6.30pm EST / 11.30pm GMT. Fox is broadcasting the game in the US, while UK-based viewers can tune in for free on ITV1 or ITVX.
