Super Bowl halftime show reaction: Fans praise Rihanna for memorable performance
Super Bowl halftime shows are often the most scrutinized live performances, but fans almost universally praised Rihanna for her performance in Glendale on Sunday night.
Rihanna headlined this year’s show and performed a full set of some of her most popular songs. The performance included songs such as “All of the lights,” “We found love” and “Umbrella,” amongst several other memorable hits.
From a production standpoint, Rihanna’s show included complex stage maneuvers and numerous background dancers.
Fans and media also speculated about whether or not she was pregnant for the performance. Rihanna gave birth to her 1st child, a boy, in May of 2022.
Here’s the best of the reaction to the halftime show:
