News of the pregame performers comes after Rihanna and Apple Music dropped the first teaser for her Super Bowl LVII Halftime show. This will be the Oscar-nominated singer's return to the stage for the first time in six years.
In November, Rihanna dished to ET about making the decision to hit the Super Bowl stage for her grand return.
"I can't believe I even said yes. It was one of those things that even when I announced it, I was like, 'OK, I can't take it back. Now, it's like final,'" the singer told ET. "The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world, it's an entertainer's dream to be on a stage like that. But it's nerveracking. You want to get it right. You know, everybody's watching. And they're rooting for you. And I want to get it right."
Super Bowl LVII airs Sunday, Feb. 12 on FOX.
