The Super Bowl Halftime Show is an annual American tradition where an artist or group of artists perform a medley of songs in between the two halves of the National Football League's (NFL) biggest game of the year.

This year's Super Bowl LVII will see the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, February 12.

However, many music fans will be tuning in for the much-anticipated halftime show that is packed with musical acts.  

Who is performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2023?

Rihanna will be taking the stage at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The 34-year-old hitmaker made the announcement back in September as she shared a photo of her tattooed arm clasping a football.

Jay-Z, whose Roc Nation is helping coordinate the show released a statement saying: 'Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn.'

'A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.'

Why did she previously decline performing at the event?

This comes after Rihanna turned down the opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl in 2019. The superstar said she declined the invitation because of the way Colin Kaepernick had been treated.

The former San Francisco 49er refused to stand for the US national anthem at the beginning of games to protest police brutality and racial inequality. After he became a free agent, no teams signed him.

The quarterback sued the NFL in November 2017, accusing team owners of collusion in not signing him. 

The suit was withdrawn two years later after Kaepernick and the NFL reached a confidential settlement. He remains unsigned.

In explaining her decision at the time, the Grammy winner told Vogue, ' I couldn’t dare do that. For what? Who gains from that? Not my people.'

'I just couldn’t be a sellout,' she said, 'I couldn’t be an enabler. There’s things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way.'
