Kendrick Lamar took over Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, La., on Sunday night (Feb. 9) for the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show,
After SZA’s ethereal appearance during Lamar’s set, it could make sense for K.Dot to pass the baton to his upcoming tour mate and frequent collaborator. She’d have plenty of songs to choose from, as her 2017 album Ctrl peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and spawned standout tracks like “Love Galore,” “The Weeknd,” and “Broken Clocks,” while her Billboard 200 chart-topper SOS featured hits like “Kill Bill,” “Snooze,” “Good Days,” “I Hate U” and more.
Within R&B/hip-hop, a few more stars who come to mind for future Super Bowl headliners include Lil Wayne, who wanted to perform in his hometown of New Orleans, and Nicki Minaj, who dropped the long-awaited Pink Friday 2 in 2023 and expressed plans for the third installment of the Pink Friday series in September. Jay-Z is also likely to take the halftime slot, as he and his company Roc Nation have signed on since 2019 to help the NFL pick out talent to perform during the prestigious game. “I thought it would be selfish to pick myself too early,” he previously said of performing during a red carpet appearance for the premiere of The Book of Clarence. “Maybe one year.”

Over in the pop world, Taylor Swift could take over for her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend Travis Kelce and have her time in the Super Bowl spotlight, or Justin Bieber could take the stage, as he’s been teasing a return to music in recent months. BTS is also scheduled for a much-anticipated reunion after the group members complete their South Korean military service in mid-2025, so why not celebrate with a major Halftime Show takeover?

Country has had a major year, and Post Malone could be a fun headliner following the release of his country-tinged F-1 Trillion project. Or perhaps his “I Had Some Help” collaborator Morgan Wallen should take center stage. There’s also a chance that the Super Bowl Halftime Show goes back to spotlighting rock acts, with Metallica and Linkin Park’s new lineup as great contenders.

“Love Hangover” offers a breezy, laidback pop vibe, with a playful rap verse from Fike. The track also introduces fans to the K-pop star’s debut solo album, Ruby, which is set to drop on March 7. The song’s comedic music video features Riverdale star Charles Melton as JENNIE’s leading man.
Announced in late January, Ruby will feature 15 tracks, including the chart-topping single “Mantra,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Global 200. The album boasts an impressive list of collaborators, including Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Doechii, Dominic Fike, FKJ and Kali Uchis.
In a recent interview with Billboard, JENNIE opened up about the emotional process behind creating Ruby.
“It’s not nice to be someone who’s always like, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t say anything,’” she said of the project she began in early 2024. “I want to say I’m almost there.” Acknowledging the challenges she faced along the way, she added, “I’m just going to say, ‘I don’t do well with time.’”
Taking second place in the poll is JENNIE’s The Idol co-star The Weeknd, whose latest album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, finally dropped after delays caused by the wildfire crisis in Los Angeles. The set earned nearly 17% of the vote. Featuring collaborations with Lana Del Rey, Anitta and Travis Scott, Hurry Up Tomorrow marks the final chapter in The Weeknd’s album trilogy, following 2020’s After Hours and 2022’s Dawn FM.

Co-written by McRae, Ryan Tedder, Grant Boutin and Julia Michaels, the song will appear on her upcoming third album, So Close to What, set for release on Feb. 21 through RCA Records.
