The Barbados-born pop star, 34, shared on Instagram on Sunday a photo of her tattooed hand holding up a football.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is sponsored by Apple Music. Its telecast will be produced by DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins serving as executive producers, and Hamish Hamilton serving as director. Roc Nation is also serving as the strategic entertainment advisors of the live performance.

"Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn. A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment," said Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter.

"We are thrilled to welcome Rihanna to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage," said Seth Dudowsky, NFL Head of Music.

"We're excited to partner with Rihanna, Roc Nation and the NFL to bring music and sports fans a momentous show - what an incredible artist for the inaugural Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show," added Oliver Schusser, vice president of Apple Music and Beats.

Over the coming months, fans can expect to see exclusive details and sneak peeks leading up to the Super Bowl Halftime Show by following @AppleMusic on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter.

Billie Eilish Shares Videos Of 'TV,' 'The 30th' Performed From Singapore's Cloud Forest

Billie Eilish recently shared live videos for "TV" and "The 30th" from her performance in the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.

Eilish performed at the Singapore venue as part of her "Happier Than Ever, The World Tour."

Singaporean director Choann directed both the videos, which were shot in partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board, as part of their international recovery campaign, SingapoReimagine.

"Singapore was one of the first places I ever went on tour. I was only there for a day and absolutely fell in love with it." Eilish explains. "The Cloud Forest is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life. These two songs really are just very important to me in a lot of ways."

"I feel really connected to them and very personally protective over them, and I wanted to have some sort of peace with the songs that felt really intimate and personal," she added. "It just felt really comfortable to do it in a place as beautiful at the Cloud Forest."

Eilish released "TV" and "The 30th" from her Guitar Songs EP, earlier this summer after a surprise live performance and debut of "TV" during her sold out "Happier Than Ever, The World Tour."

Post Malone Postpones Boston Show After Being Hospitalized With Breathing Difficulties

Post Malone was forced to postponed his Boston show an hour before its scheduled start on Saturday, as he was hospitalized with breathing difficulties a week after falling down on stage.

In a message addressed to his fans, just before a scheduled performance at Boston's TD Garden, Malone wrote, "Boston, I love y'all so f**ing much. On tour, I usually wake up around 4 o'clock PM, and today I woke up to a cracking sound on the right side of my body. I felt so good last night, but today it felt so different than it has before. I'm having a very difficult time breathing, and there's like a stabbing pain whenever I breathe or move."

"We're in the hospital now, but with this pain, I can't do the show tonight," he added. "I'm so f**ing sorry. Everyone's tickets for tonight's show will be valid for the reschedule that we're planning right now. Once again, I'm so f-ing sorry, I love y'all so much. I feel terrible, but I promise I'm going to make this up to you. I love you Boston, I'll see you soon."

On September 17, Post Malone took a nasty spill on stage while performing in St. Louis as part of a tour in support of his latest album, Twelve Carat Toothache. He tripped and fell into an open trap door that wasn't properly covered. He resumed the show after a brief break.
