Rihanna to headline Super Bowl halftime show, NFL announces

Superstar Rihanna is performing at the next Super Bowl halftime show, the NFL has announced. The multi award-winning singer, 34, shared a photo of her hand holding an American football on Instagram and Twitter on Sunday evening (September 25). 

Soon afterwards, it was reposted by her record label, Roc Nation, the NFL and Apple Music – a new partner for the show – which confirmed the news in a tweet. Apple Music said: “It’s ON. Rihanna will take the stage for the first ever Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show on 2.12.23.”

In a statement, the NFL confirmed the popstar and businesswoman will perform at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, in February. The show was previously dubbed the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show, however the music company confirmed on Friday it was taking over the role as sponsor.
