Earlier this afternoon, TMZ reported that the NFL and Roc Nation had been in talks with RiRi about the show…
Shortly after, Rihanna posted a photo of her holding a football onto Instagram…
…Which appeared to confirm the news, even if the caption was a tad vague.
This will be the fourth halftime show with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, as most recently, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar took the helm this year.
The news is especially huge given that Rihanna has been spotted around a recording studio recently, potentially marking her return to music since 2016’s Anti.
Jay-Z further said in a statement, “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.”
There are reports that another artist will also take the stage next year, so guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
