On September 25, 2022, Apple Music, the NFL, and Roc Nation—who will return for a third time to assist in producing the halftime show—announced that billionaire, social activist, and musical icon Rihanna would perform at State Farm Stadium for the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, February 12, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona.
After ten years strong with Pepsi, Super Bowl LVII will now have Apple Music as its sponsor. Other artists have also been said to also perform on the Super Bowl stage that Sunday, but this does not necessarily mean that there will be two performances on stage.
“Let’s GO @badgalriri @rocnation #SBLBII @applemusic @nflonfox,” Rihanna’s picture with the caption said as the NFL swiftly followed Apple Music in confirming the announcement. Taylor Swift was rumored to be performing before the NFL confirmed it, so if there is another performance, she might be the second.
The Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show earlier this year, which featured a lineup of legend artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar in addition to a surprise appearance by 50 Cent, that performance made history and received five nominations for Creative Arts Emmys. They left with Three Creative Arts Emmys, including Outstanding Variety Special (Live), a first for the show, and all artists performing received awards.
As many BadGirl Riri fans know it’s been a long time coming attempting to obtain some music from her. Since Rihanna has been teasing new music for more than a year, the Super Bowl Halftime Show would be the ideal venue for her to debut it. Therefore, let’s hope she gives us at least a sneak preview of one song from her upcoming album. We also heard she may be bringing a Jamaican or Trinidad artist to the stage as well, here are some songs that she could possibly perform based on fans’ favorites.
