Former Nebraska volleyball player, Lexi Rodriguez, recently attended the ongoing Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour on April 19, 2025. In her latest update, she opened up about her experience at the concert.
Rodriguez recently competed for her team, the Omaha Supernovas, at the inaugural edition of the League One Volleyball finals. Her team competed against LOVB Austin in the last round of the tournament at the KFC Yum on April 14, where the latter claimed the title with a win of 3-0 (25-19, 25-22, 25-23).
Just a few days after the LOVB Finals, Rodriguez was seen having the time of her life at Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour. She shared several updates on her social media, uploading videos of the concert and showcasing her incredible experience. Most recently, she posted a bunch of pictures on her Instagram handle, whose first slide carried a selfie of her and former Huskers, Kennedi Orr and Kendall Moriarty.
The next few slides also showcased some pictures with them, and the last slide carried a wholesome video of SZA's entry on the stage during the concert. She made her feelings known about her experience at this concert in the post's caption, which read:
"This concert changed my life 🦋"
Shortly after Rodriguez's match at the LOVB Finals, the former Nebraska volleyball player also became the first Husker ever to win the prestigious AAU James E. Sullivan Award on April 15, 2025.

Truly it is such an honor, so thank you,” said Lexi Rodriguez (0:50 onwards).
