2023 Super Bowl” halftime show

Rihanna

Rihanna will headline the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show after Taylor Swift reportedly turned it down. Here are 6 times musicians declined the coveted performance spot.

Though she declined the offer in 2019, Rihanna is now set to headline the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.

On Friday, Taylor Swift reportedly joined the group of musicians who turned down the opportunity.

In 2019 Rihanna told Vogue that she rejected the halftime show due to political differences. The decision was an act of support for former NFL player and activist Colin Kaepernick, who peacefully protested police brutality in 2016 by taking a knee.

“I just couldn’t be a sellout. I couldn’t be an enabler,” the pop star told the outlet. “There’s things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way,” she continued.

On Friday Variety reported that Taylor Swift was in the running to perform at the 2023 Super Bowl. However, People and TMZ confirmed the pop star will not be hitting the stage in February.

Rumors about a potential Swift performance at next year’s Super Bowl began Thursday night after the NFL announced Apple Music would be taking over as the show’s sponsor. According to Variety, fans speculated that Swift’s ties to Apple, and upcoming album drop, meant that the pop singer would be performing.

According to sources who spoke with TMZ, Swift was offered the spot but declined in order to focus on rerecording her first six albums. So far, Swift has re-recorded and released two albums, “Red” and “Fearless,” in order to own her masters after a public fallout with her former manager Scooter Braun. – Source
