Rihanna spoke for the first time about her upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance next year.
In a new video, the singer tells a TMZ reporter exactly how she is feeling about the anticipated show and hints at who might perform alongside her onstage.
“I’m nervous, but I’m excited,” Rihanna said.
The reporter asked the singer if boyfriend A$AP Rocky will be the surprise guest, and Rihanna simply gave the camera a peace sign and said, “Maybe, girl.”
Rihanna’s halftime show performance will mark her comeback to music after a long break while focusing on her brands, Savage x Fenty and Fenty Beauty. It’s been six years since she last released an album, dropping Anti in 2016.
Rihanna took to Instagram last month confirming that she will headline the halftime show. The post featured an image of her hand holding an NFL football. She captioned it simply with a period.
TMZ first reported that the NFL and Roc Nation had been talking with the star to headline the halftime show. The outlet also noted the many potential singers who may be joining her onstage – literally anyone she has ever collaborated with on music.
The 2023 Super Bowl is set to take place on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023, at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
