Only hours away from Super Bowl LVII’s kickoff, Rihanna’s halftime performance remains a mystery. While we can be sure she’ll bring the jams with some of her chartbusting hits, what we don’t know is what fellow pop superstars will join her on the stage.

— The Game Day NFL (@TheGameDayNFL) February 11, 2023Rumors are circulating that some A-list talent is waiting in the wings. Considering the number of collaborations on Rihanna’s impressive resume, it leaves a hefty list of A-list candidates.
Parade ranks Jay-Z, Kanye “Ye” West, Paul McCartney, Calvin Harris, Eminem, Shakira, Jeezy, Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, Bryson Tiller, and PARTYNEXTDOOR as the front-runners. Behind them, the publication suggests that Mikky Ekko, T.I., Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, and Drake are possible, though less likely.
If Jay-Z steps up to the plate, some fans are hoping he won’t be alone.
How many think that #Beyonce & #JayZ will be two of #Rhianna's surprise guests at the #SuperBowl Halftime show?

— cynthia📧 (@cynthiaraddatz) February 10, 2023Ever since the age of superstar halftime performances began, fans have come to expect surprises during the mini-concert. Just last year, the likes of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Mary J. Blige, and Eminem brought down the house. Let us not forget the controversial Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson duet of 2004. As we saw in 2010, there’s always a chance that stars from other genres will join the fun.
No doubt, there will be no lack of volunteers to take the stage with Rihanna this year, which will also mark her first televised performance since 2018. While group performances are the norm, especially when it comes to pop singers, there’s nothing that says she won’t go solo tonight. However, fans are crossing their fingers for a star-studded extravaganza with the opening kickoff at 6:30 ET tonight.
Let’s be honest. The real superstar we all need at the Super Bowl is Weird Al Yankovic.
