Rihanna is the star of the halftime show at the upcoming Super Bowl LVII in the NFL. This was announced by the National Football League on Sunday. The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 12, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona.
The 34-year-old singer from Barbados posted a photo on Instagram showing her hand holding a football. Fans reacted enthusiastically, in just a few hours the post had already collected over three million likes. The NFL posted the photo on Twitter.
Rapper Jay-Z, who co-produces the halftime show with his entertainment company Roc Nation, recognized Rihanna’s self-made success as an artist and businesswoman. Born on the small island of Barbados, Beyoncé’s husband Jay-Z wrote in a statement that she is now considered one of the “greatest artists of all time.”
Music icon Rihanna (“Umbrella”) is also a big earner through her cosmetics line (“Fenty Beauty”) and her underwear brand. The Grammy winner and her boyfriend, US rapper Asap Rocky, became parents for the first time in May.
The NFL Finals is one of the biggest TV events of the year in the United States. An appearance at the star and advertising spectacle is considered the highlight of a musical career. Last February, 120 million people in the United States saw the show by music stars Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J Blige and Kendrick Lamar in Los Angeles. For the first time, she was completely dedicated to hip-hop, R&B and rap.
