Kendrick Lamar and SZA's co-headlining Grand National Tour kicked off in Minneapolis Saturday night. After appearing together during the Super Bowl Halftime Show earlier this year, the duo performed familiar favorites and debuted some songs from their respective recent albums GNX and Lana. Kendrick did tracks like "wacced out murals," "hey now," "dodger blue," and "reincarnated" for the first time, while SZA did first-time performances of "30 For 30," "Scorsese Baby Daddy," "Kitchen," and "BMF."
The 50-plus-song setlist also featured K. Dot doing his verses on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That" and Playboi Carti's "Good Credit," and he did a new verse on his cousin Baby Keem's song "Family Ties." There were a few subtle Drake digs throughout the set, too: Kendrick did part of his 2012 song "Poetic Justice," which features Drake on the studio version, while SZA performed her feature on Drake's For All The Dogs highlight "Rich Baby Daddy." Ahead of "Not Like Us," there was also a pre-recorded video that appeared to depict Kendrick in the middle of a deposition, alluding to Drake's recent defamation lawsuit. Outside of the stadium, there was also a pop-up for SZA's new beauty brand Not Beauty. Mustard opened with a DJ set.
See some fan-captured clips of the show and the full setlist below.
