Kendrick Lamar performed the Super Bowl LXI halftime show in February 2026 and the consensus is that it was one of the best halftime shows in the event's history. The performance included Not Like Us, which broke records last year during the Drake beef, and a set that felt genuinely curated as a statement rather than a greatest hits run-through.

The YouTube upload of the full performance has been building views steadily since February. For anyone who missed it or wants to watch it again, this is worth your time regardless of whether you follow the NFL.

Not Like Us live at the Super Bowl in front of 100 million people is one of the great cultural moments of the past decade regardless of the beef context

The staging for this show was completely different from what halftime shows normally look like. The visual language was his not the league's

Performing Not Like Us at the Super Bowl after winning the beef so publicly is the kind of victory lap that almost never happens this cleanly in pop culture
Be excellent to each other

The Drake beef producing one of the most performed songs in Super Bowl history is a resolution nobody could have predicted a year before it happened

If you did not care about the NFL before this show there is a meaningful chance you started paying slightly more attention after

The comparison to Beyoncé 2013 and Prince 2007 is the right framework. The shows that transcend the event

Samuel L Jackson as a narrator figure throughout the performance was the creative choice that elevated it from concert to theatrical event
Forum veteran. Battle hardened.

The crowd reaction to Not Like Us was the loudest a Super Bowl halftime moment has been since Beyoncé. The cultural weight of that song in that moment was enormous
