Rihanna’s 2023 Super Bowl Performance Rihanna’s 2023 Super Bowl Performance

The era of a comeback or a drawback? The era of a comeback or a drawback?

Since "Anti" in 2016, Rihanna hasn't put out a new album. Many of her devoted fan base interpreted her decision to perform at the Super Bowl this year as a sign that she would be putting out new music soon. She might reveal a new single, album, or possibly a tour. However, she claimed, at one of pop music's biggest platforms, that despite all of the awaited anticipation, she had a private life to return to. But even if her performance on stage had been a little drained, there were more crucial issues to pay attention to.

Rihanna played fragments of 12 hits in 13 minutes; these are well-known songs that don't call for a lot of pomposity. She was at her most exciting, sassy, authoritative, and vivacious at a bit after the set's halfway point.

A brief pitch for her very own cosmetic brand, Fenty? Sure. A subliminal message of solidarity for a troubled peer? We don't see why not. One of the key pop hitmakers of the twenty-first century, Rihanna, doesn't need the Super Bowl as much as the Super Bowl needs her, and her performance was a masterclass in doing just enough.

She approached it in the same way many people do when their personal lives begin to beckon: obediently, lightheartedly, exhaustedly, and looking to work the angles just a little bit.

Rihanna is a multifaceted personality who has achieved success in the fashion and beauty industries and is a new mother. She is also an incredibly renowned pop star with a substantial discography. Yet she doesn't currently produce hits. Furthermore, she hadn't given a presentation of this size since 2016. Hence, the Super Bowl renowned for its marketing, was triumphant in landing her biggest performance in years. Ebro Darden, who represents Apple Music, portentously mumbled, "The wait. is almost. Over.''
