RIHANNA WILL HEADLINE THE 2023 SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW
Thatโs right! Rihanna officially announced that she will be performing at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show in February of next year.
RiRi took to Instagram and posted a photo of her holding a branded NFL football confirming the exciting news.
Not too many artists turn down a Super Bowl performance as the game usually draws in the biggest single TV audience every year. The game is scheduled to take place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ on February 12.
โRihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn,โ said Jay-Z in the official announcement. โA person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.โ
Rihanna was also offered to headline the 2019 Halftime show but declined the inviteย in a decision to show solidarity withย Colin Kaepernick.
Although she will headlining at one of the biggest events of the year, the super star singer has not released an album since 2016. This has fans on the edge of their seat eager to know if new music will be on the way from the โPon De Replayโ singer.
