Who could join Rihanna for the Super Bowl Halftime show?

With Rihanna’s highly anticipated 2023 Super Bowl halftime show just on the horizon, fans can’t help but wonder if anyone will join the superstar up on stage.

All the latest news and updates of Rihanna’s performance in the Superbowl LVII live on As.com.

Previous Super Bowl Halftime guest performances

It’s not unusual for the Super Bowl headliner to bring out a guest to perform alongside them, especially in recent years.

Last year, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar brought 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak. In 2018 Shakira and Jennifer Lopez were joined by Bad Bunny, J Balvin and Emme Muñiz.

Of course, not every year features a surprise guest star. In 2021 The Weeknd performed without guests as well as Lady Gaga back in 2017. Some popular predictions to accompany Rihanna onstage include A$AP Rocky, Jay-Z, DJ Khaled and Drake.

Rihanna has previously done collaborations with her partner A$AP Rocky as well as Jay-Z, DJ Khaled and Drake. So the thought of one of them joining her to perform these collabs together seems plausible.

Of course, Tom Holland might also be a contender given his incredible lip sync to ‘Umbrella’ on Comedy Central in 2017.

Rihanna Makes Her Epic Return

While the halftime show is always a hot topic, this year has been garnering extra buzz since it will mark Rihanna’s first live stage performance since 2018.

The R&B singer has no doubt been busy raising her son and pursuing other business ventures like her makeup brand Fenty Beauty.

However, Rihanna has been hard at work preparing for her performance. During a press conference with Apple Music, she explained that she went through “about 39 versions of the setlist.”

“That was the hardest, hardest part – deciding how to maximize 13 minutes but also celebrate. That’s what this show is gonna be – it’s gonna be a celebration of my catalog in the best way that we could’ve put it together.

“You’re trying to cram 17 years of work into 13 minutes, so it’s difficult. Some songs we have to lose because of that, and that’s gonna be OK, but I think we did a pretty good job of narrowing it down.

“I haven’t done this in a minute. You’re just running around for 13 minutes, trying to put a 2-hour set into 13 minutes, and you’re gonna see on Sunday.”
