Superstar singer Rihanna will headline the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, the NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced Sunday.
Rihanna will take center stage at State Farm Stadium for the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona.
The Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show telecast will be produced by DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins serving as executive producers, and Hamish Hamilton serving as director.
“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,” said Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter.
This marks the first year of a partnership between Apple Music, the NFL and Roc Nation.Earlier this year, the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show, which featured a lineup of trailblazing musicians including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar, made history, garnering five Creative Arts Emmy nominations.
The critically acclaimed performance won three Creative Arts Emmys, including Outstanding Variety Special (Live), a first-ever for the show.
Past Super Bowl Halftime Show performances include The Weeknd, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Prince, Madonna and more.
