The R&B superstar appeared to tease the announcement on her Instagram and Twitter accounts Sunday afternoon with a picture of her holding up a football. The news was confirmed by the NFL later in the day.

This comes after Variety originally reported Taylor Swift was to headline the halftime show, but multiple reports indicated Swift turned down the NFL's offer to continue to focus on re-recording her previous albums.

Earlier this week, Apple Music was announced as the halftime show's new presenting sponsor, taking over from Pepsi.

More to come.
