She’s done it! Rihanna gave an epic performance at the NFL Super Bowl early this morning and marked her first time on the stage in five years – and she didn’t disappoint. The star, donned in a red outfit, performed some of her biggest hits in the 13-minute medley which started off with a shocking pregnancy reveal.
The star started her performance with ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ on a moving, elevated stage as she showed off her baby bump. Rihanna went on to perform hits like ‘Only Girl (in the World),’ ‘We Found Love,’ ‘S&M,’ ‘Rude Boy,’ ‘Umbrella’ and ‘Work’ before ending the show with a show-stopping performance of ‘Diamonds’.
Rihanna previously refused to perform at the 2019 Super Bowl Halftime Show to show solidarity with former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his famous protest against racial injustice that was frowned upon by the NFL. But since Roc Nation became the NFL’s official live music entertainment strategist in 2019, Jay-Z made the necessary changes to get the superstar to reconsider.
Rihanna is the latest performer to take over the Super Bowl which is broadcast to over 100 million people in the United States alone. Previous performers include Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Maroon 5, Eminem, Dr Dre, Katy Perry, Mary J Blige, Lady Gaga, Shania Twain, U2, Janet Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross and more.
