Rihanna is set to take one of the world’s biggest stages when she performs during the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show. The “Lift Me Up” singer, whose last public performance was five years ago, will grace the stage at the big game for about 15 minutes.
However, Rihanna won’t be the only artist getting some camera time during the 2023 sporting event. Before tuning in to watch the Philadelphia Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs, check out everything we know about the performers at the 2023 Super Bowl.
Rihanna Hasn’t Announced Additional Guests.
Super Bowl Halftime Show headliners are known to bring multiple guests on stage to perform hit songs. However, it appears Rihanna’s team is keeping any surprise guests under wraps. Although the singer has not announced whether anyone will be joining her on stage, she collaborated with artists like Drake, Eminem, and Calvin Harris on hit songs over the years.
Chris Stapleton Will Perform The National Anthem.
Before Rihanna takes the stage for the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show an annual tradition must take place. Country singer and eight-time Grammy Award winner Stapleton will perform “The Star Spangled Banner” before kickoff. Troy Kotsur will perform the National Anthem in American Sign Language.
There Are Other Pre-Game Performances.
Before the game, R&B artist Babyface will perform “America the Beautiful” with Colin Denny performing in ASL, and “Abbott Elementary” star Sheryl Lee Ralph will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing” while Justina Miles performs the song in ASL.
The Super Bowl LVII game will mark the first year Apple Music will sponsor the halftime show. The company will replace Pepsi, which was a longtime sponsor of the musical event.
Each year, the championship NFL game typically draws a massive TV audience, and this year is not expected to be any different.
The 2023 Super Bowl LVII will be played at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The event will air live Sunday, Feb. 12, at 6:30 p.m. ET on Fox.
