“HUMBLE.” leads the predictions, likely due to its commercial success and energetic vibe, making it an ideal opener to captivate the audience.

However, “Not Like Us,” Lamar’s recent diss track aimed at Drake, has garnered significant attention and could serve as a bold statement if chosen as the opening number. Given the song’s controversial nature and the ongoing feud between the two artists, its inclusion would undoubtedly generate buzz. 

Other contenders like “King Kunta” and “DNA.” are also strong possibilities, each showcasing Lamar’s lyrical prowess and stage presence. The final decision will likely balance audience expectations, thematic coherence, and the overall narrative Lamar wishes to convey during his performance.

Super Bowl Halftime Show Rankings

Over the years, the Super Bowl Halftime Show has delivered numerous memorable performances. As anticipation builds for Lamar’s upcoming show, it’s worth reflecting on some of the most acclaimed halftime performances to date:

1. Prince (2007): Often hailed as the greatest halftime show ever, Prince’s performance in the rain, culminating with “Purple Rain,” remains iconic.

2. U2 (2002): In the aftermath of 9/11, U2 delivered a poignant tribute, listing the names of victims as they performed “Where the Streets Have No Name.”

3. Beyoncé (2013): A high-energy show that featured a reunion with Destiny’s Child, showcasing Beyoncé’s commanding stage presence.

4. Madonna (2012): A theatrical performance that included guest appearances by LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, and Cee Lo Green, blending classic hits with contemporary flair.

5. Katy Perry (2015): Known for its visual spectacle, including the famous “Left Shark” dancer, Perry’s show was a vibrant and entertaining display.

Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming performance has the potential to join these ranks, especially if he delivers a show that resonates both musically and culturally. His track record of powerful performances and thought-provoking lyrics positions him to make a significant impact on the Super Bowl stage.
