What Songs Will Kendrick Lamar Perform?
While Kendrick’s setlist is still under wraps, fans can expect a mix of his biggest hits and possibly some diss tracks. “Not Like Us” and “Like That,” both released during his ongoing feud with Drake, are strong contenders. These tracks became instant hits, leading fans to speculate they might be featured in his performance.
Other popular songs in Kendrick’s repertoire include “Swimming Pools (Drank),” “Poetic Justice,” and his remix of Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood.” It’s not confirmed if Taylor will join Kendrick on stage, but it wouldn’t be the first time a collaborator made a surprise appearance. In 2022, Kendrick performed with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, and Mary J. Blige for the Super Bowl’s first all-hip-hop showcase. The next year, Alicia Keys joined Usher to perform their hit duet, “My Boo,” at the 2023 Halftime Show.
