The Farm Stadium, Arizona is getting ready for the mega 57th Super Bowl event on February 12th, 2023. The NFL match between the Eagles and the Chiefs will take place during the celebratory day. However, all the music heads’ eyes are on the Halftime performance. It is the pop princess Rihanna making a comeback after seven years to the stage. Recently, the ‘Diamonds’ singer released two singles from the 2018 sequel ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’.
The much-anticipated songs did touch the hearts of the Navy with two ballads ‘Lift Me Up’ and ‘Born Again’. The former song was also nominated for Golden Globes 2023 and the 65th Grammy Awards. The year 2022 was like a boon for the songstress. She found love in the rapper A$AP Rocky and the two were blessed with a baby boy in May 2022. Now, the artist is nervous and excited about the new challenge that the NFL Super Bowl will pose.

Rihanna will be going on stage for a live performance after seven years. Her last album was released in 2016 titled ‘Anti’. It was nerve-wracking for her, but she is ‘exhilarated’ about the challenge. She said, “The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world. As scary as it was because I haven’t been on stage in seven years, there’s something exhilarating about the challenge of it all. It’s important for me to do this year. It’s important for my son to see that”.
In a career spanning more than 17 years and eight albums, it is difficult to be economic for such an iconic set list. But, Rihanna has found it difficult to fit everything in the 13 minutes. She continued, “Some songs we have to lose because of that, and that’s going to be okay. We did a pretty good job at narrowing it down. There’s probably been about 39 versions of the setlist right now. We’re on our 39th. Every little change counts”.
