Rekamragam.my.id - Are you a fan of Rihanna the singer? Then we have good news for you. Because next year she will reach for the microphone again and put her vocal cords to work again for the Super Bowl Half Time show.
Rihanna will headline the upcoming Super Bowl show
Yes, we know that Super Bowl weekend is all about the sport. But we are especially looking forward to the artist who will be on stage during the Half Time show. Last year it was five iconic hip-hop artists, but in 2023 fans will be treated to a performance by none other than Rihanna.
After years of absence from music, the beauty mogul shines on the center spot of Arizona's State Farm Stadium on February 12.
It was RiRi himself who confirmed the news on Instagram. The photo of her tattooed hand holding a football was not captioned, but fans guessed what it stood for in the comments. The NFL posted the same image to Twitter, captioning it: "Let's GO – @rihanna." On Instagram, they changed their biography from National Football League to National Fenty League. Already brilliant.
A few years ago, the singer still refused
The good news comes three years after Rihanna's interview with American Vogue in which she said she had turned down the show in solidarity with football player Colin Kaepernick. 'I wouldn't dare do it. For what? Who benefits from that? Not my people. I couldn't be a sellout. There are things within that organization that I don't agree with at all, and I didn't intend to be of any service to them.”
Fortunately, this is different a few years later. Since 2019, Jay-Z (Rihanna's "discoverer" and mentor) has been working with the NFL to improve live gaming experiences and strengthen the league's social justice efforts. That's why it made sense for Rihanna to say 'yes'. This may also be her way of re-focusing on her singing career, without the pressure of releasing an album. However, fans would be thrilled if she made the latter come true. After all, they've been waiting for it for six years.
It is and remains Rihanna, she may still surprise us.
