Nine-time Grammy Award winner Rihanna is set to bless the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show for the first time in her illustrious music career.
Months back, the wildly successful American pop singer/songwriter Taylor Swift was rumored to be this upcoming Super Bowl’s halftime performer. But Rihanna, who’d previously shot down the opportunity to perform during halftime of 2019’s Super Bowl (LIII), let the world know last September via Instagram that she’d be taking center stage at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Rihanna’s performance will follow the 2022 Super Bowl’s star-studded halftime show that featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak.
