Any hope that Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show might be the harbinger of a new album will have to be put on hold. But that doesn’t mean some new music isn’t on the horizon.
“Super Bowl is one thing,” Rihanna said. “New music is another thing. Do you hear that fans?”
Elsewhere in the interview, Rihanna spoke about her decision to take on the Super Bowl halftime show. The performance will not only be her first in more than five years, but it will take place less than a year afterto her first child. “If I’m going to leave my baby, I’m going to leave my baby for something special,” Rihanna said.
While the Super Bowl halftime show is arguably one of the biggest stage’s an artist can play, Rihanna previously turned down the opportunity twice, in 2018 and 2019, in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, who was essentially blacklisted from the NFL after taking a knee during the National Anthem in protest of racial injustice and police brutality.
Of her decision to finally accept the headlining spot now, Rihanna said, “It was a challenge that I welcomed. It was a stage bigger than anything I’ve ever done.”
