It’s been seven years since Rihanna’s last album Anti and four years since she made a public appearance at the 5th Annual Diamond Ball in 2019. As evidenced by her appearance on Sunday night’s (Feb. 12) Super Bowl Halftime Show 2023, Rih’s musical reign hasn’t given up even in her relative absence from the pop scene.
Celebrities and fans alike eagerly tuned in to see tonight’s legendary performance, produced by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation – and Rihanna didn’t disappoint!

Former Halftime Show headliner Shakira hyped Rihanna on Twitter. “Wishing you the best vibes for tonight’s show, Rih!” She tweeted alongside a photo of the couple.
Katy Perry also sent Rih well wishes ahead of the show, cheering her on with an encouraging “You got this” on Twitter.
Also, Kerry Washington shared a photo of herself wearing a t-shirt that read, “Rihanna concert punctuated by soccer game weird but whatever.”
Rihanna’s set list for the halftime show included songs like “Diamonds”, “Rude Boy”, “Wild Thoughts” and more.
