Rihanna to headline Super Bowl Halftime Show

 


Rihanna subtly teased the news earlier this morning with an Instagram photo of a football—specifically an NFL football—which either meant that she would be coming out of retirement to play for Tampa Bay or that she was going to play the Super Bowl Halftime Show. It turned out to be the latter, with Variety saying that Roc Nation has confirmed that Rihanna will indeed be headlining the biggest football-related music event of the year in 2023.


Rihanna hasn’t released a new album since 2016, so this seems like a hint that she’s working on something (though not necessarily, since the Super Bowl is usually just an outlet for a greatest hits medley anyway). Also interestingly, Rihanna was previously offered a chance to headline the 2019 Super Bowl Halftime Show, but she declined it as a show of support for quarterback Colin Kaepernick and how he was effectively pushed out of the NFL for daring to (silently) speak up against police violence.
