Apple Music is the official sponsor of the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show taking place this Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Rihanna will be the headline singer at the show, and Apple is heavily promoting her upcoming performance.
At 9 a.m. Pacific Time, Apple Music Radio's Nadeska Alexis will interview Rihanna. A live stream is available in the Apple Music app.

Apple shared more ways that Rihanna fans can experience and celebrate her performance across Apple Music in a press release last month.
The Super Bowl kicks off at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Sunday.

The SB halftime show is the pinnacle of absurdity for what is supposed to be a championship football game. It’s not a game anymore. It’s a three ring circus meant for as many advertisers as possible to cash in on the lowest common denominator of spectators.
Do you live in a cave? Asking seriously. Rihanna is one of the biggest music acts of the last 25 years. I like a few of her songs but by no means a super fan, but how could you not know who she is?
