Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show Coincides with Father John Misty Album Anniversary

The performance reignites a playful history of overlapping milestones between the two artists, as Misty marks a decade since 'I Love You, Honeybear.'

Kendrick Lamar delivered a widely discussed Super Bowl LIX halftime show on February 9, featuring his Grammy-winning track 'Not Like Us' and a surprise appearance by Serena Williams.
The performance coincided with the 10th anniversary of Father John Misty's acclaimed album 'I Love You, Honeybear,' prompting the singer to joke about the timing on social media.
Josh Tillman, a.k.a. Father John Misty, has a history of album releases overlapping with Lamar's, including in 2015, 2017, and 2022, fueling a lighthearted rivalry between the two artists.
To celebrate the anniversary, Misty announced a remastered reissue of 'I Love You, Honeybear,' set for release on February 14, alongside his ongoing tour dates in North America and the UK later this year.
Both artists remain active in 2025, with Lamar embarking on a North American tour with SZA starting in April, while Misty continues his solo performances through the summer.
