Rihanna, who will perform at the halftime show of the Super Bowl, the NFL’s pinnacle game, talked about her performance.
Rihanna’s enthusiasm before the halftime show
The 57th Super Bowl will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on February 12 (local time), with the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles battling for the top spot in the NFL.
In addition to the game, the halftime show that is held during halftime of the game attracts much attention every year.
In the past, top artists such as Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Bruno Mars have performed at the halftime show, but in 2023, Rihanna, who has stayed away from the music industry for many years, is expected to perform.
Rihanna held a press conference prior to the halftime show.
It was “the only time” for her to perform the halftime show.
At the press conference, Rihanna said that the hardest part of preparing for the halftime show was making the set list. I’m on the 39th version right now,” she confessed, “and I’m quite lost.
Since the halftime show is limited to 13 minutes during halftime, the songs to be performed are also limited, unlike the usual concerts and festivals. And because it is a live broadcast, delays are not tolerated. Therefore, “That (deciding on the set list) was the hardest and most difficult part,” she said. We had to decide how to make the most of the 13 minutes while also celebrating. Celebration is what this show is about. We’re trying to cram 17 years of work into 13 minutes,” she said, adding that the performance would be filled with the history of her musical career.
She also commented on being approached about the halftime show, saying, “It’s like, ‘This was the only time it could happen. When I first got the call to do the halftime show this year, I was like, ‘Are you sure? I’m three months postpartum, and I thought, ‘Can I really make such a big decision now? I might regret it. But when you become a mother, you feel like you can take on the world, you can do anything. And the Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world,” she recalled.
Teaser imagines Rihanna’s origins?
Rihanna released one video on her social networking site for the halftime show. The video features the song “Run This Town,” a collaboration with her mentors Jay Z and Kanye West, in the background, as well as the house on Rihanna’s home island of Barbados where she was born and raised and a public road sign in front of the house Rihanna grew up in, which was named Rihanna Drive in 2017. The girl taking her mother’s sunglasses and walking proudly through the streets was reminiscent of the Rihanna of her childhood.

The video then goes on to say, “My life was shaped by this very path. I was a little island girl flying kites in a cemetery…. But I had big dreams.” The video spotlights Rihanna’s origins.
Rihanna said at the press conference, “It is uninterrupted from the beginning of the halftime show to the last second. It may be an exaggeration, but it’s a show full of excitement,” she commented enthusiastically.
The show is a must-see for the history of Rihanna’s music career.
