There was some speculation that Taylor Swift would be headlining the Super Bowl Halftime show, until sources shot it down. Well, now it looks like we know who is actually taking the coveted gig.
After TMZ first reported that Rihanna was in talks to headline the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime show, now sponsored by Apple Music, the singer seemed to confirm the news by posting a picture to Instagram of her holding an NFL branded football.
But that’s not all. Not long after that, Roc Nation shared the same photo with the caption “Let’s GO!" and the hashtag #SBLVII, which was then re-tweeted by the NFL themselves.
Following the social media announcement, Jay Z called RiRi "a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn," adding, "A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment."
Seth Dudowsky, NFL Head of Music, said in a statement he was “thrilled to welcome Rihanna to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage.”
Super Bowl LVII goes down February 12th at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona and airs live on Fox.
