The Super Bowl halftime show could be lit beyond words, as TMZ has learned that the NFL and Roc Nation are in talks with Rihanna to headline.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ...there have been multiple discussions with Rihanna and her team. We don't know if she's firm, but our sources say the NFL could reveal who they locked up as early as Sunday afternoon via tweet.

Rihanna makes a lot of sense, because she's a Roc Nation artist, so that's an easy call for Jay-Z. BTW, Rihanna has been teasing her new music for over a year, and if she's ready to release it, there's no better platform than the Super Bowl halftime show.

We're told there were also discussions with another artist, but it's not one or the other - in other words, there would be at least 2 artists on stage.

It's interesting...Rihanna turned down an offer to headline the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show due to her opposition to the way Colin Kaepernick was treated by the NFL. Taylor Swift turned down Super Bowl offer, won't headline until albums are re-recorded Getty/IMAGN
