Rihanna To Headline 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show
Rihanna will headline the Super Bowl LVII halftime show on Feb. 12 in Glendale, Arizona, per the Hollywood Reporter.
Shortly after the report came out, Rihanna took to Instagram to confirm the news, posting a picture of herself holding up an NFL football.
Roc Nation later released a statement regarding the news.
“Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn. A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment,” Jay-Z said.
Seth Dudowsky, NFL Head of Music, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Rihanna to the Apple music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage. Rihanna is a once in a generation artist who has been a cultural force throughout her career. We look forward to collaborating with Rihanna Roc Nation, and Apple Music to bring fans another historic Halftime Show performance.”
The news arrives a few days after Taylor Swift was approached to headline the Super Bowl but turned it down, according to TMZ. Sources close to the artist say that the singer doesn’t want to perform until she re-records her first 6 albums.
