It will mark Rihanna’s first live performance in over five years, Rihanna also made an announcement, posting a photo of herself holding a football with no caption.
Here’s is the complete details about her performance, what songs she will be performing, When the Super Bowl 2023 is, Who will perform with her and many more :
Rihanna is returning to stage at the Super Bowl 2023 as she has agreed to headline the Super Bowl LVII halftime show at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, February 12.
This is the first time we will see Rihanna back in her Live Performance music after her last tour in 2016. During her hiatus from music, she’s grown her Fenty business empire, including her Fenty Beauty makeup line, her Fenty Skin skincare line and her Savage X Fenty lingerie line as well as welcoming her first baby; a boy with boyfriend A$AP Rocky in May last year.
Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label and entertainment firm partnered with the NFL in 2019 to select entertainers to work with the league, including for the Super Bowl’s halftime. Roc Nation has been a part in organizing the halftime show and is also Rihanna’s management company.

Rapper Jay-Z, the head of Roc Nation, played an integral part in discovering Rihanna. After she auditioned in front of Jay-Z, he said, “I knew she would be a star.” and also signed the singer when she was only 16 years old.
In the NFL’s press release, they included a quote from Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter.
“Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn,” he said. “A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.”

Seth Dudowsky, NFL head of music, called Rihanna a “once in a generation artist” and a “cultural force.”
“Rihanna is an incredible recording artist who is a favorite for many millions of Apple Music customers around the world,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Apple Music and Beats. “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.”
And seeing the teaser the two put out on January 13, it’s going to be quite the spectacle.
In the 30-second clip, the singer appears as a silhouette in a large, empty room. She then begins to walk forward and takes in comments from her fans.
“Dude, Rihanna, we’ve waited for you,” said one voice. Another added, “It’s been six years since the nine-time Grammy-winner dropped an album.”
The last female Super Bowl performer to go solo is Lady Gaga in 2017.
