A source said that Rihanna is preparing to provide incredible performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime and that she feels the time is right for her to take the stage once more. Rihanna announced her appearance on social media with a post with the ball.
On February 12, the Super Bowl will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The 2019 half-time show will be supported by Apple Music instead of Pepsi, which has sponsored it for years.
Fans of the singer were already anticipating the return of the queen to the stage by the time she simply shared a photo of a ball on social media. According to sources, Rihanna never intended to take a hiatus from performing for as long as she did, but things just worked out for her, and now she feels ready and eager. An insider said that everything she does is theatrical and creative, all her fashion shows, her books, her makeup, it's all part of her art and everyone is just excited to see her perform once again.
Additionally, the source says that Rihanna will give this performance her all, saying that she no doubt has a lot on her plate right now, but she will give it 1000% She will guarantee every detail is perfect. It will be well worth the wait! Jay-Z described Rihanna as a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has managed to excel under expectations at every step of the way. The rapper continued that Rihanna is an epitome of a person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most recognized artists ever, self-made in business and entertainment. He added that he is so proud of her and very excited about her performance.
Seth Dudowsky, NFL Head of Music said in a statement that Rihanna is a once-in-a-generation singer and has been a cultural force throughout her career and that they are excited to have her perform at the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. Seth continued by saying that they are eager to work with Rihanna, Roc Nation, and Apple Music to give fans yet another legendary Halftime Show performance.
Before Maroon 5 took the stage to perform at the 2019 Super Bowl, Rihanna claimed she turned down a similar opportunity. When the national anthem was being played in 2016, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeled to protest police brutality against black people and other minorities. Many musicians at the time publicly supported Kaepernick. At the time Rihanna said that she could have never dare to do that and explained in an interview with Vogue that there are things within that organization that she did not agree with at all, and she was not about to go and be of service to them in any way. In a case that was ultimately settled in early 2019, Colin Kaepernick accused the NFL of conspiring to keep him out of the league.
In 2019, the NFL and Roc Nation, who manage Rihanna, worked together to choose performers for the Super Bowl and organize the half-time show. The 2022 halftime show included performances by Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige in addition to surprising cameos by 50 Cent and Anderson. Paak. On Apple Music 1 on Sunday, Dr. Dre spoke alongside Ebro Darden and shared his enthusiasm for what she will accomplish.
Dr. Dre expressed his admiration for her work, her ability to get down, her artistic process, and the full nine yards, calling it wonderful. The artist went on to say that Rihanna now had the chance to amaze them and the audience with her performance, and he acknowledged that they had set the bar incredibly high. In addition, he had some words of wisdom for Rihanna before her appearance at the halftime show. Make sure that as an artist one surrounds oneself with appropriate creative individuals and have fun, the author advised, adding that this is essentially what one should do.
Fans and a lot of celebrities are very excited for the queen RiRi to perform!
