Educated guesses for what Rihanna will perform, who she'll bring to the stage, and what she'll wear as the singer makes her big return to music
he day is finally upon us: Rihanna is making her official comeback to music. Some might have marked her return with “Lift Me Up” and “Born Again” from thesoundtrack, but consider that merely dipping a toe in the water—her fans know the real return is happening this Sunday at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. On Feb. 12, it will have been 2,572 days since Rihanna has released any solo music .
Rihanna’s performances are known for starting off high-energy and then working to keep the energy up. Early songs might include “Only Girl ” or “Work” to get the crowd pumped. After that, she will probably venture into bad-bitch territory with a trap hit like “Bitch Better Have My Money,” “Needed Me,” “Rude Boy” or “S&M.”
To close out the show, there’s a good chance that Rihanna will turn to a ballad, as she has in many past live performances. If her Apple Music ad spots are any indication, there’s a high probability that that ballad could be “Stay,” which was used to great effect in a promotional video featuring NFL fans belting out the lyrics with vim.
She also has several songs with her ex-boyfriend, Drake, who is another top contender for special guest. Drake still speaks highly of Rihanna, but ever since she began dating A$AP, she hasn’t said much about him, so the likelihood that he would show up is hard to assess. The two have collaborated on “Take Care,” “What’s My Name?” “Work,” and “Too Good,” all of which she could theoretically perform alone.
