Adele just wants to see her pal Rihanna perform at the Super Bowl.
“I’m
going just for Rihanna!” the Easy on Me crooner told an audience member
during the Friday, February 3, 2023, concert of her Las Vegas residency at
the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. “I don’t give a flying f--k.”
The upcoming halftime show, which will be held at State Farm
Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on February 12, 2023, will mark Rihanna’s
first live performance in seven years, via Billboard.
The show
has been newly rebranded, Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, produced by
DPS with Roc Nation.
In a similar fashion, back in 2012, Rihanna
declared her adoration for the Rolling in the Deep singer.
“Really,
I came to the BRITs just to stalk Adele,” the Diamonds hitmaker said during
an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show after the U.K. awards show where she
had recently performed.
“It really was nothing about me; it wasn’t about the BRITs; it
wasn’t about the performance. It was really just to see Adele again. … I
love her.”
The music stars were able to meet eventually, though
Adele can’t quite recall when was the first time she met the Fenty Beauty
owner.
“I actually can’t remember the first time I met Rihanna; I
was probably numb from the shock of it,” Adele admitted in a tribute to
Rihanna for Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2018.
The Super
Bowl marks Rihanna’s first televised performance since the 2018 Grammys. She
hasn’t released a full-length album since 2016’s Anti.
