Kendrick Lamar's performance at Super Bowl LIX has become the most-watched halftime show in history, drawing 133.5 million viewers and surpassing Michael Jackson's 1993 record of 133.4 million.
The 13-minute set featured hits like "HUMBLE," "DNA," and "Not Like Us," with guest appearances by SZA, Samuel L. Jackson, and Serena Williams.
This milestone contributed to Super Bowl LIX becoming the most-watched Super Bowl game ever, averaging 127.7 million viewers and peaking at 137.7 million during the second quarter.
Despite the overwhelming viewership, reactions were mixed; some viewers praised the performance's energy and star power, while others, like musician Noel Gallagher, criticized it as "nonsense."
Nevertheless, Lamar's achievement underscores his significant impact on the music industry and the growing trend of digital viewership for major live events.
