Rihanna has shared a new teaser for her upcoming Super Bowl Halftime show performance.
The We Found Love singer will take to the stage for the forthcoming event on February 12 at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona for Super Bowl LVII.
Rihanna – who recently released the tracks Lift Me Up and Born Again from the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ movie – previously called it “an entertainer’s dream” to play the show and one month ahead of the big performance, she shared a teaser on social media.

“We’ve waited for you,” a fan says in the clip, as another voice notes that it’s been over 2,000 days since her last live performance.
“RiRi, where have you been,” asks a third person over footage of Rihanna dancing, before placing her fingers to her lips as a song begins to play.
Confirming Rihanna’s Super Bowl booking back in September, executives from the National Football League (NFL), Roc Nation, and Apple Music – which is sponsoring the event – issued a statement.
“Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn,” said JAY-Z. “A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.”
NFL Head of Music, Seth Dudowsky, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Rihanna to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage. Rihanna is a once-in-a-generation artist who has been a cultural force throughout her career.
“We look forward to collaborating with Rihanna, Roc Nation and Apple Music to bring fans another historic Halftime Show performance.”
