After a lot of anticipation, the NFL bosses announced the headliner of the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show and exceeded our wildest expectations. Rihanna is set to perform at the 2023 Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, and here’s everything we know about her headlining spot so far.

Place & Time

The Super Bowl LVII is taking place on February 12, 2023, and it’s too early to tell who’ll play in the championship since the season just recently kicked off. State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the home of the Arizona Cardinals, will serve as the next year’s venue.

Major Players

Apple Music will serve as the sponsor of the upcoming halftime show, replacing Pepsi after a decade. Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is coming back on board as a producer and the strategic entertainment advisors for the live performance, while Hamish Hamilton is returning as the director.

Potential Setlist

As always, the setlist of Rihanna’s upcoming halftime show is a mystery, but she’ll most likely perform a madly of her biggest hits, such as “Umbrella”, “Diamonds”, and “Rude Boy”.

It’s common for headliners to bring some of their frequent collaborators on stage. Drake, Jay-Z, and Eminem are the strongest candidates to join Rihanna, but we’ll have to wait and see because guest performers are usually kept a secret.
