The world is dark and featureless at the beginning of the trailer for Rihanna‘s Super Bowl LVII Halftime ShowHere’s what life has been like for Rihanna Stan as she’s spent the past seven years waiting for new music. Suddenly, Rihanna, 34, as a disembodied voice says, “It’s been 2,190 days…” “Rihanna, we’ve been waiting for you,” says another. As the “Work” singer unfolds, more voices talk about the drought since she released her last album, 2016’s Anti, “Riri, where have you been?” One shouts as the other says, “Rihanna is the one everyone’s been waiting for.”
More voices join in, creating a louder cacophony—all the while, chartreuse of the fur coat Rihanna wore to her 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards performance of “B**** Better Have My Money” version appears. Once the noise reaches close, the lights go out, and Rihanna raises a finger to her lips in a “shhhhh” motion. The opening second of her “Needed Me” song begins to play, and it appears that the time for talking is over. Fans will have to wait until February 12, when the NFL rolls into State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona for Super Bowl 57.
While Rihanna’s Super Bowl setlist is probably locked away in a vault somewhere to prevent her NAVYs from peeping through before she takes the field, it’s hard not to think that she won’t leave “this is what you came for,” her 2016 collaboration with Calvin Harrisbecause a lot of fans will be tuning in to the football extravaganza for Rihanna. Coincidentally, Calvin Harris is back in the spotlight as he will be DJing Coachella this year, and there were reports that Taylor Swift — formerly of Calvin and co-writer on “This Is What You Can For” — was to headline this year’s halftime show.
Rihanna first announced the halftime headlining gig on September 25, 2022, by posting a simple image to her Instagram: her tattooed hands holding an NFL-branded Super Bowl. Shortly after, the official NFL Twitter account tweeted “Let’s go!” and the #SBLVII hashtag tagging Rihanna, jay zeeRoc Nation (who partnered with the NFL in 2019 to produce the Super Bowl Halftime Show).
The League and Roc Nation quickly confirmed what everyone suspected. Confirming Rihanna’s headline spot at the 2023 Super Bowl, Jay-Z said in the statement, “Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has exceeded expectations at every turn.” “A man born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists of all time. Self-made in business and entertainment.
