Ahead of the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show featuring Rihanna, Apple Music makes the singer’s catalog available for listening with spatial audio.
Apple Music is the new halftime show sponsor for Super Bowl LVII, which takes place on February 12, 2023, in Arizona. Now subscribers of the service can listen to all of Rihanna’s hits with spatial audio.
“Rihanna is one of the most prolific artists of our time, and we, along with her fans across the globe, cannot wait to see her take the stage at the first Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show,” adds Oliver Schusser, Apple’s Vice President of Apple Music and Beats. “We are excited to celebrate Rihanna and give her fans a new way to experience her music with spatial audio, as well as exclusive content from Apple Music.”
Rihanna will also be featured prominently by Apple on several occasions before the Super Bowl on February 12. Starting February 9 at 9 am PST, Apple Music Radio’s Nadeska Alexis will interview Rihanna at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show press conference. Apple Music Radio will also feature the ‘Halftime Hype Radio’ program, a 10-part series that reflects on the most notable halftime performances of all time.
‘Rihanna Revisited Radio’ is an eight-episode roundtable exploring the cultural impact of the singer’s catalog. Meanwhile, ‘Live from Super Bowl LVII’ will feature daily live broadcasts capturing the excitement in Arizona ahead of the Super Bowl. Apple Music is also introducing an official collection of 32 playlists featuring the top songs that each NFL team listened to in the locker room and on game day.
Additional pregame moments will include exclusive warmup playlists curated by NFL players like Travis Kelce (KC Chiefs), Stefon Diggs (Buffalo Bills), Trevon Diggs (Dallas Cowboys), Davante Adams (Las Vegas Raiders), and Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys), plus a throwback video playlist revisiting many of the halftime performances from Super Bowl games of the past.
