Rihanna is back and she’s coming to the Super Bowl.
The NFL and the pop star made the announcement Sunday after rumors spread earlier in the week that Taylor Swift would be the halftime performer. According to Rolling Stone, this is her first live performance in five years.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rihanna to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage,” Seth Dudowsky, NFL Head of Music, said in a press release. “Rihanna is a once-in-a-generation artist who has been a cultural force throughout her career. We look forward to collaborating with Rihanna, Roc Nation and Apple Music to bring fans another historic Halftime Show performance.”
Super Bowl LVII takes place on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023.

Earlier in the week, the NFL also announced Apple Music as the new partner for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, replacing Pepsi.
“We are proud to welcome Apple Music to the NFL family as our new partner for the iconic Super Bowl Halftime Show,” Nana-Yaw Asamoah, SVP of Partner Strategy for the NFL, said in a press release. “We couldn’t think of a more appropriate partner for the world’s most-watched musical performance than Apple Music, a service that entertains, inspires, and motivates millions of people around the world through the intersection of music and technology.”
