Rihanna Teases Her Highly Anticipated Super Bowl Halftime Show: “5 Weeks From Today”
Rihanna’s highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance is quickly approaching, and we’re counting down the days. “5 weeks from today 🔥🔥 #AppleMusicHalftime,” the NFL and Apple Music captioned a video of the “Anti” singer sporting a hoodie with her tattooed hand holding a football on it, reposted from her Instagram Story on Jan. 8. That same day, Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty brand also shared photos of new merch on Instagram in support of the forthcoming halftime show. “A @badgalriri concert during a football game? Say less. #SavageXGameDay,” one caption reads.
The NFL announced Rihanna’s performance, also the first-ever Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show, on Sept. 25, confirming rumors of her being the midgame entertainment on Feb. 12, when the league’s top two teams (still to be determined) face off in Glendale, AZ.
On Oct. 4, a TMZ cameraperson caught up with Rihanna at the Los Angeles grocery store Bristol Farms and asked how she was feeling about the performance. In response, she admitted to being “nervous” but also, in the outlet’s words, “excited” about the gig.
Rihanna initially shared the news with her fans via a post featuring her hand holding up an NFL football. Although she didn’t add a caption, the NFL quickly confirmed the announcement on Twitter, writing, “Let’s GO – @rihanna @rocnation #SBLVII @AppleMusic @NFLonFox.”
The famed singer has big shoes to fill this year — not that the Grammy winner has anything to worry about. In 2022, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent collaborated for an epic hip-hop halftime performance, and the year prior, The Weeknd helmed the show. Other recent headliners have included Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and Katy Perry.
Hip-Hop Entertained the Masses at the Halftime Show, but at What Cost?
