Later, the league confirmed with a statement that Rihanna will be the figure of the intermission of the Super Bowl.
"Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has exceeded expectations at every turn. A person born on the small island of
Barbados
who became one of the most prominent artists of all time," said rapper
Jay-Z
. , which produces the Super Bowl show for the NFL through its company
Roc Nation

were proclaimed champions at their home (SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles) by defeating the
Cincinnati Bengals

The Weeknd (2021), Jennifer Lopez and Shakira (2020), Maroon 5 (2019), Justin Timberlake (2018), Lady Gaga (2017), Coldplay (2016), Katy Perry (2015), Bruno Mars (2014) and Beyoncé (2013) round out the recent list of Super Bowl performances.
Additionally, the 2023 show will be the first Super Bowl show to be sponsored by
Apple Music
, which has replaced
Pepsi
as the show's sponsor.
Considered one of the most important pop stars of the 21st century, this Super Bowl points to a possible return to the forefront of Rihanna's music, who has not released an album since
'ANTI'
(2016) and who, in recent years, She has enjoyed great success with her fashion and cosmetics brand
