Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring Rihanna
The Navy (Rihanna's fan-base) can finally rejoice! The pop-star and entrepreneur will return to the stage for the first time since 2018. It's safe to say many of her fans are more excited about the halftime show than the football game, though. Not much is known about the halftime show, as the singer has been tight-lipped since announcing the performance back in September 2022. In January, she launched the 'Game Day' collection from Savage X Fenty, where several pieces sold out in just one day.
- Sunday, February 12, 2023
- State Farm Arena, Glendale
