ihanna admitted she was “nervous” about playing the Super Bowl halftime show next year, but is “looking forward” to the experience.
News of the multi-award winning singer’s starring role in one of the biggest nights on the American sports calendar was announced by the NFL last month.
Following the revelation, the 34-year-old singer shared a photo of her hand holding an American football on Instagram and Twitter.
Asked how she felt about the performance while shopping in Los Angeles on Tuesday, she told US outlet TMZ, “I’m nervous…but I’m excited.”
Rihanna is expected to be joined by special guests for the show, which is the Barbadian singer’s first major live performance in many years, but she declined to comment further on details.
She had previously declined to perform at the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show in solidarity with former American footballer Colin Kaepernick, who is known worldwide for taking a knee to protest racial injustice in the United States.
The show has already been featured by global superstars such as The Weeknd, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.
2022 saw California rap powerhouses Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg take the title, joined by Mary J Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent.
Apple Music has been confirmed as Superbowl 2023 sponsor, taking over from Pepsi.
