In addition to Usher, more A-list artists made an appearance. Including Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, Lil John and will.i.am.

Rihanna is headlining Super Bowl LVII and social media is absolutely loving it.
Yesterday, before a slew of Week 3 games across the NFL got underway, the league made noise by declaring the nine-time Grammy winner as the next main Super Bowl halftime performer. No other artists have been announced at this time.
Rihanna made the announcement alongside the NFL, Roc Nation, and Apple Music. The Super Bowl will be played on February 12th in Glendale, Arizona.
Rihanna is among the best-selling female musicians of all time and will join a lengthy list of R&B and hip-hop SB performers. Last year hip-hop royalty Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent shared the same stage. The year prior The Weeknd shouldered the load by himself.
