First, US singer Taylor Swift was in talks for the half-time show of the upcoming Super Bowl. The NFL is now clearing up the rumors and announcing: Rihanna is taking over the gigantic show.
At the upcoming NFL Super Bowl, Rihanna will be the star of the halftime show. This was announced by the National Football League. The 34-year-old from Barbados is one of the most successful artists in the world. The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 12, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona. Several rap and hip-hop stars performed together at the last Super Bowl in Los Angeles, including Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Dr. dr The year before, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez performed together.
“Rihanna is a unique artist who has been a cultural force throughout her career,” the NFL said in a statement. We look forward to working together. Rihanna has been in the headlines lately because of her pregnancy. In May she gave birth to her first child. The son’s father is US rapper A$AP Rocky.
Just a few days ago it became known that Taylor Swift had apparently rejected the offer to perform in the halftime show. This is reported by several US media, including “People” and “TMZ”. As “TMZ” claims to have found out, the singer was asked to headline “months ago”. Her answer was clear: she didn’t want to perform until she had re-recorded her first six albums.
The speculation started when the NFL announced that Apple Music would replace Pepsi as the main sponsor of the Super Bowl. Taylor Swift fans believed that the Coca-Cola ambassador would now be able to make an appearance. According to TMZ, Taylor Swift “wants” to perform at the Super Bowl. It just doesn’t fit at the moment. An appearance at the Super Bowl 2024 depends on the completion of the new recordings.
