Rihanna Confirmed for Super Bowl Halftime Show

Rihanna will headline the 2023 Super Bowl half-time show.

Rihanna confirmed the news on Sunday (25.09.22) by sharing a photo of her arm holding a football on her Instagram, hours after rumors started spreading she would be performing the gig.

The NFL tweeted the same image as Rihanna with the message: “Let’s GO #SBLVII.”

Rihanna’s caption less image was posted hours after TMZ reported she was in talks to headline next year’s national championship game.

Super Bowl LVII is set to take place on February 12, 2023, at State Farm Stadium.

The singer turned down the chance to perform at the Super Bowl in 2019, saying she declined due to the way Colin Kaepernick, 34, was allegedly treated by the NFL.

Rihanna’s announcement follows reports Taylor Swift, 32, was offered the halftime show but “turned it down” as she wanted to first finish re-recording her first six albums, according to TMZ.
