What will she sing? Her back catalogue is plentiful and abundant, but what’ll make the final cut? “Umbrella”, for sure.
might not be the best word to describe Rihanna’s performance power, but when a pop star hasn’t toured in nearly a decade , we could be forgiven for asking if she’s match fit. Is Rihanna doing atraining montage to prepare, or is she at home with her feet up? Beyoncé’s comeback body after her twins was a major plot point in the Beychella doc, but Rihanna’s Super Bowl shouldn’t be about her shape. There’s something genuinely pioneering aboutand it not being a problem to fix.
And Rihanna’s not been power napping since she last sang for us – she has a beauty empire and a baby now – but despite being the world’s best-dressed pregnant person, she’s been keeping a relatively low profile postpartum. It seems crazy to be so off-grid musically and agree to the most-seen gig of a pop star’s career.
Her agreement to do the Super Bowl does feel strategic, however. Like, are we getting new music? I think we deserve new music? Please give us new music.feels like it was pressed in the Stone Age, the halcyon days when Britain was still European and Obama’s address was the White House. A lot of Fenty lip gloss has passed under the bridge since we had a newly minted Rihanna bop. It got embarrassing how long we were begging for it, so we just sort of stopped.
I wonder if every Super Bowl performer, on agreeing to do the halftime show, feels the immense pressure. If they wonder how to top Prince doing “Purple Rain” in a Miami thunderstorm, outshine Beyoncé and jack-in-the-box Destiny’s Child, or beat Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction? Gaga skydived in like Bond, MIA flipped the bird. What’s Rihanna bringing to the table?
