Pop superstar Rihanna will add “Super Bowl performer” to their long list of achievements.

Announced today, the artist will perform at the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show next year. This halftime show will be the first collaboration between the NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation.

Oliver Schusser, Apple's vice president of Apple Music and Beats said this about Rihanna’s forthcoming performance:

"Rihanna is an incredible recording artist who is a favorite for many millions of Apple Music customers around the world. We're excited to partner with Rihanna, Roc Nation and the NFL to bring music and sports fans a momentous show — what an incredible artist for the inaugural Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show."

Seth Dudowsky, NFL Head of Music also said:

"We are thrilled to welcome Rihanna to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage. Rihanna is a once in a generation artist who has been a cultural force throughout her career. We look forward to collaborating with Rihanna, Roc Nation and Apple Music to bring fans another historic Halftime Show performance."

Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, who signed Rihanna back in 2005, also chimed in:

"Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn. A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.”

Super Bowl LVII will take place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on February 12, 2023.

Rihanna has been working on the follow-up to their 2016 studio album Anti, which became their second consecutive album to debut at number one on the Billboard charts. The artist’s last single was their 2020 collaboration with PartyNextDoor titled "Believe It."
