Bad gal Rih Rih herself has released a brand-new teaser ahead of her 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.
In the teaser, Rihanna walks what appears to be a runway as different voices from journalists, news anchors, and fans talk about how long it’s been since she last released new music. The voices eventually drown out and they become one, with Rihanna facing the camera and posing.
In what seems to be a response to the voices, Rihanna makes the sign for silence. It is then that “Needed Me” from her latest album, Anti, starts playing in the background. By all means, this seems to heavily suggest that Rihanna is releasing new music during her Halftime Show performance and is making an official comeback to music.
You can watch the full teaser below.
Pepsi was the sole sponsor of the Super Bowl Halftime Show every single year since 2013, when Beyoncé delivered her show-stopping performance in New Orleans, LA. In subsequent years, Halftime Show acts included Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Shakira & Jennifer Lopez, The Weekend, and Dr. Dre.
For 2023, Apple Music has taken over as the Halftime Show sponsor – and Rihanna is the first-ever act to perform under the new sponsorship. The event is already being billed as the Apple Music Halftime Show.
We can’t wait to see what Rih Rih pulls off at the Super Bowl!
The 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show airs Sunday, February 12 on Fox.
