Since the shocking news that she would be performing as the halftime show’s headlining act at the Super Bowl in 2023, Rihanna hasn’t been spotted in public.
On Monday night, the 34-year-old singer, actress, and businesswoman dressed casually as she made her way to a recording studio in New York City. She wore a graphic T-shirt and a black bomber jacket.
Black sweatpants and neon-laced Adidas sneakers were worn with the jacket. With a black cap and a sizable blue quilted Chanel bag, Rihanna finished the look.
The founder of Fenty Beauty was said to be in negotiations with the NFL on Sunday to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and she subsequently confirmed the rumors with a straightforward photo.
Rihanna shared a photo of herself on Instagram clutching a football without adding a message, just a plain period.

Numerous people reacted to her picture right away, including the official Bravo account for Watch What Happens Live, which wrote, “NFL = National Fenty League.” (The NFL even altered the name of their official Instagram account to “national Fenty league” in honor of Rihanna.)
JAY-Z, who previously agreed to lead the NFL’s musical entertainment, said in a statement that Rihanna is a “generational talent” and a “lady of modest beginnings who has defied expectations at every turn.”
JAY-Z, 52 added “a person from the tiny island of Barbados who rose to fame as one of the greatest painters ever. business and entertainment success is self-made.”
According to the source, NFL Head of Music Seth Dudowsky said, “We are excited to welcome Rihanna to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage. “A cultural force her entire career, Rihanna is a once-in-a-generation artist. We are excited to work with Apple Music, Roc Nation, and Rihanna to provide the fans with yet another historical Halftime Show performance.”
After the announcement, Dr. Dre, who co-headlined last year’s Super Bowl performance, gave Rihanna some words of wisdom.
On Apple Music 1, the 57-year-old said that he is a “super fan” of the “Umbrella” singer and “can’t wait to see what she’s going to do.”
Dr. Dre said, “Surround yourself with the appropriate people and have fun.”
