The event can be seen on free TV on ProSieben, and DAZN customers can even watch it largely without advertising. The national anthem sings country singer Chris Stapleton, baby face will the song “America the Beautiful” present before kickoff.
Above all, music fans expect a spectacular one halftime showbecause one is announced 12-minute performance by Rihanna. It’s exciting because Rihanna hasn’t played live in years. In addition to short appearances in 2019 at the Diamond Ball 2019 in New York and at the Holiday Concert in December 2017, the last regular gig took place at the Formula 1 race in Abu Dhabi in November 2016. The singer has long retired from the music business and has focused on many other things. Her commitment to fashion and cosmetics with her own label has brought her a lot of money in recent years. In 2021 she was the richest musician with a fortune of around 1.7 billion US dollars. But even more important: in 2022 the Girlfriend of rapper A$AP Rocky first time mom.
What can we expect from Rihanna’s halftime show at the Super Bowl?
As always before the start of the concert, which will take place between 1.30 a.m. and 2 a.m. German time, not even the smallest details of the performance are known. The NFL protects its stars and wants to create the greatest possible element of surprise. Of course, Rihanna wants to continue the celebrated halftime show by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez from 2020, which was streamed millions of times, especially on YouTube and the like.
There are now numerous rumors surrounding the show. Rihanna is said to not appear alone. In an interview with the E! Magazine” the 34-year-old already said: “Twelve minutes? You could actually do it on your own, but it’s one of those things you can do however you want. So I don’t know if I’ll decide to do it myself or if I’ll bring a few of my colleagues with me.” The fact is: nobody has performed alone since 2017. Back then, Lady Gaga was in the spotlight. Jay-Z, Calvin Harris and, obviously, her husband A$AP Rocky are currently being considered as possible co-stars.
A hot rumor is also that Rihanna could announce a big stadium tour during her gig. “Page Six” already speaks of extensive tour planning that has long since started. As can be seen from the report, not even the singer’s closest confidants should know about the details. If Rihanna went on a concert tour, she would compete with Taylor Swift and Beyoncé’s mega tours.
The question remains, which songs Rihanna could sing in the halftime show at the Super Bowl. “Umbrella”, “Diamonds” or “Love the Way You Lie” should be very likely candidates. In the pre-event press conference, Rihanna said there were 39 (!) different plans for the setlist. If the presumed tour planning goes hand in hand with a new album, then a new piece would also be conceivable. The (revealing?) outfit of the musician will also be interesting. The NFL took precautions after the legendary Nipplegate by Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson, the transmission was sent with a delay of several seconds.
