Kendrick Lamar took the Super Bowl halftime stage with a sea of dancers wearing red, white, and blue to deliver 13-minutes of his hit tracks, along with appearances from special guests.
The show at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday was full of surprises, starting with the very opening.
Fans were aware that Lamar, 37, would headline the performance and would be joined by musical artist SZA. But neither of them opened the show; it was veteran actor Samuel L. Jackson, 76, who set the stage for them.
