Rihanna will perform on the biggest stage in the country as the headlining act at the 2023 Super Bowl LVII halftime show in Phoenix, Arizona on Feb. 12.
The 34-year-old billionaire shared an image to Instagram on Sunday afternoon of her tattooed hand holding an official NFL football. The league confirmed their leading act only minutes later with the same photo posted across their social platforms, with the caption, "Let’s GO @badgalriri @rocnation #SBLBII @applemusic @nflonfox."
Super Bowl LVII will be sponsored by Apple Music after a decade with Pepsi. In addition, Jay-Z's Roc Nation is returning for the third year to help produce the halftime spectacular.
"Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn. A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment," said Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, in a release from the NFL.

"We are thrilled to welcome Rihanna to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage," said Seth Dudowsky, NFL Head of Music. "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."
