Taylor Swift reportedly turned down the offer last week to headline the Super Bowl
After a lengthy skirmish, as to who would feature in the historical event, the NFL finally announced Rihanna as the headliner for the show. Recently, it was announced that Apple Music have been given new sponsorship rights for the halftime event, taking them from Pepsi, the previous owners.
The Barbadian singer, announced the news on her official Instagram account posting a picture of the football. The caption read, “Let’s. Do. This,” and it was immediately shared from the NFL’s social media handles as well.

The last Super Bowl LVI halftime show was headlined by Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent at this year’s NFL championship game at L.A.’s SoFi Stadium. The event earned as many as three Emmy awards.
