    Sometimes, you have to pop out and headline a Super Bowl. Seventeen-time Grammy awardee and Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Kendrick Lamar will headline Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans for the halftime show.

    The announcement was made Sunday in a commercial featuring Lamar, who stated, “You know there’s only one opportunity to win a championship.”

    Here are what songs "K Dot" could perform at the show and who could be special guests.

    Who is performing at Super Bowl LIX?

    Kendrick Lamar is the headliner at Super Bowl LIX, but there could be a surprise guest.

    One of those guests could be New Orleans native Lil Wayne. Wayne has hinted since last year that he would like to headline the Super Bowl.

    Wayne’s engineer and fellow New Orleans Hip-Hop entrepreneur, Master P, both expressed disappointment that Wayne wasn’t performing.

    This will be Lamar’s second time performing at the Super Bowl. He shared the stage with Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Anderson .Paak during the Super Bowl LVI halftime show.

    What songs will Kendrick Lamar perform?

    It’s possible that Lamar will give his second live performance of “Not Like Us,” his petty diss track to rival Drake. Lamar first performed the song live during his “ The Pop Out: Ken & Friends ” show, which was streamed on Amazon Prime on Juneteenth.

    “Not Like Us” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard this summer.

    Performers have 12-14 minutes for their show.

    Here is a set list of what Lamar could perform.

    • "Not Like Us"
    • "Humble"
    • "Alright"
    • "DNA"
    • "Backseat Freestyle"
    • "Like That"
    • "Love."
    • "N95"
    • "King Kunta"
    • "Swimming Pools (Drank)"

    Does Kendrick Lamar have ties to Texas?

    In his “N95” music video, Lamar featured two landmarks in Fort Worth: the city's Water Gardens and the Piano Pavilion at the Kimbell Museum. The Fort Worth Film Commission was credited.
