Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show has been recognized with four Emmy nominations, including top categories like Outstanding Variety Special (Live) and Outstanding Directing.
The performance, which took place earlier this year, featured guest appearances by SZA and incorporated powerful, socially conscious themes. Critics widely praised the show for its creative direction and cultural impact.
Lamar’s halftime show reached a record-breaking 133.5 million viewers in the United States, making it the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in U.S. history.
The nominations mark another milestone for the rapper, who previously performed at the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show, further solidifying his influence on live televised music events.
These Emmy nods highlight both the show’s production quality and its significant cultural resonance, setting it apart as one of the year’s most notable live performances.
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on September 14, 2025, in Los Angeles.
