Watch Rihanna’s Full Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show

Nine-time Grammy-winning artist and global icon Robyn Rihanna Fenty, known to the world simply as Rihanna, delivered a thrilling performance at the Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show on Sunday, February 12, 2023. The performance, held at State Farm Stadium, took place as the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles battled for the championship.

Rihanna's halftime show marked her return to the stage after several years, and it did not disappoint. She delivered a career-spanning performance, showcasing some of her greatest hits in a 13-minute set. “The setlist was the biggest challenge," Rihanna said in an interview leading up to the event. "That was the hardest part—deciding how to maximize 13 minutes, but also celebrate. That’s what the show’s going to be—it’s going to be a celebration of my catalogue in the best way."

The Super Bowl performance also brought a historic milestone for Rihanna and Apple Music. Sunday night marked her biggest day on the global Apple Music streaming charts, as well as her top day on the Shazam charts worldwide. The artist’s impact was undeniable, both on the field and across music platforms.

Adding to the moment’s significance, Rihanna revealed she is expecting her second child, making her performance even more groundbreaking as she performed while visibly pregnant, a first for the Super Bowl halftime show.

Rihanna’s return to music began last year with the release of "Lift Me Up," a powerful ballad from the soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The Super Bowl performance served as the pinnacle of her comeback, generating widespread acclaim and reigniting global interest in her music.

Roc Nation founder Jay-Z praised Rihanna’s artistry and rise to global fame, 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.”

This year’s show marked the first Super Bowl under the new partnership between Apple Music, the NFL, and Roc Nation, highlighting the event's significance in both music and sports.

Rihanna's performance at Super Bowl LVII is widely regarded as a memorable moment in the history of the halftime show.
