Super Bowl 57 will showcase the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs as the two number-one seeds battle to be crowned this season’s champions. The event is one of the most watched of the year, so it is no surprise that every element is highly publicized. This year, the Super Bowl halftime show has an extra element of allure as it will feature an artist who has been out of the spotlight for several years.
Who is performing at this year’s Super Bowl 57 halftime show, and when can you expect to watch it?
Who Is Performing During Halftime of Super Bowl 57?
Singer/songwriter/actress Rihanna will be performing during the Super Bowl 57 halftime show. As mentioned above, it has been more than five years since Rihanna has released new music, and many believe she will use this year’s halftime show to invigorate her music career, potentially even announcing another global tour.
So, who is Rihanna exactly? Well, that is probably not a question many will be asking themselves during the Super Bowl halftime show. Rihanna is a nine-time Grammy award winner and is currently the second-best-selling female musician of all time. Three of her biggest hits — Love On The Brain, Umbrella, and We Found Love — have over a billion plays on Spotify… each!

You will be hard-pressed to find someone watching the Super Bowl who doesn’t know the lyrics to at least one of Rihanna’s hit songs. She has earned 14 number-ones and 31 top-10 singles in the US and 30 top-10 entries in the UK.
In addition to her impressive musical career, Rihanna has also appeared in a number of films, including hits like the Ocean’s 8 remake, Battleship, and Home.
What Time Is the Halftime Show?
It is hard to say exactly when the Super Bowl halftime show will start. An NFL game is obviously fluid, with things like penalties and the amount of scoring impacting how long a quarter might take. The Super Bowl kick-off at 6:30 p.m. ET.
However, there will likely be a ton of theatrics ahead of the official start of the game, so do not expect to see the opening kickoff at exactly 6:30. If the first half takes the average 90 minutes, we could see Rihanna take the stage around 8:00 p.m. ET. However, depending on the setup required, the NFL might need to take more time to prepare the stage. The halftime show can last anywhere from 20-30 minutes long.
Rihanna’s Net Worth
With all the accolades that Rihanna has under her belt, the next obvious question is surrounding her net worth. According to Forbes, as of 2022, Rihanna is the wealthiest female musician, with an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion.
Her music is obviously a part of that valuation. However, her entrepreneurial ventures into fashion and cosmetics proved to be incredibly profitable as well. Her cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty and fashion house Fenty paired with LVMH, the luxury behind Louis Vuitton, Dior, and many other successful brands, to propel her net worth into the billion range.
Although artists are not paid to perform during the Super Bowl halftime show, the more than 200 million people that will be watching should help boost some of her products even more.
