Rihanna has confirmed she is the headline act for the 2023 Superbowl. The singer, who hasn't released music since her album Anti in 2016, will be taking to the stage at the iconic sporting event to perform a string of hits as part of the Apple Music Half Time show. The game will take place in Arizona on 12 February, and the NFL confirmed the news in a statement calling the Umbrella singer a generational talent. Rihanna has yet to speak out on whether her first show in five years means new music is on the way, but her fans seem to be convinced and we're keeping our fingers crossed, too!
Speaking of Rihanna, the singer was pictured alongside her boyfriend ASAP Rocky over the weekend as the rapper took to the stage for his headline set at Rolling Loud festival – but the artist has since put out an apology to his fans following his set.
