Takeaways from Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show

That followed his "Not Like Us," the diss track written and recorded by Lamar directed toward Drake, being played while the stage was getting set up. That was certainly a preview of what was coming up later.

Lamar makes statement with "Not Like Us"

Despite the feud between Lamar and Drake and all the talk surrounding whether or not he would perform the song at the halftime show, he did. On top of that, 23-time Grand Slam tennis champion Serena Williams joined Lamar as his backup dancer.

The song may be direct, but it took home five Grammy Awards and continues to dominate, as Lamar showed with his brief rendition of it in New Orleans.

Lamar and SZA delivered with 'luther' and 'All the Stars'

As expected, ahead of their "Grand National Tour" in April, Grammy-winning singer SZA joined Lamar on stage as the two performed "luther" and "All the Stars."

The two put on an epic show together in front of the packed stadium in New Orleans.

Lamar performed other favorites as well

On top of the surprise appearances, Lamar made sure to perform some other favorites throughout his performance.

From "HUMBLE" and "DNA" to "squabble up," "peekaboo" and "tv off," Lamar managed to get several songs in and showcase his hits in the short timeframe.

Lamar got multiple songs in during the show

In total, Lamar's setlist included 10 songs and the "GNX TRAILER" snippet at the beginning. As the first solo hip-hop artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, there was a lot of pressure on Lamar entering tonight.

As someone who has previously been at the halftime show as a guest performer when Dr. Dre headlined the event for Super Bowl LVI, all the bright lights were focused on him to put on a show on Sunday night. 

After it was all said and done, it is safe to say Lamar electrified with his performance and put on an entertaining show for everyone watching.
