Rihanna waited for a pretty good time to make her return.
The multi-Grammy Award-winning superstar has not performed since 2018. Her first time back in the spotlight? Just a little thing called Super Bowl 57.
While some will come for the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, many will tune in just for her. Considering how long it’s been, the anticipation has continued to grow, even just hours before her big show.

During the lead-up to Super Bowl Sunday, Rihanna explained her decision to come back in such a spot. After recently becoming a mother, Rihanna said she felt like she could take on any endeavor.
“It feels like it could have only been now,” she said. “When I first got the call to do it again this year, I was like, ‘Are you sure?’ Like, ‘I’m three months postpartum. Should I be making major decisions like this right now? I might regret this.’ But when you become a mom, there’s something that just happens where you feel like you could take on the world, you can do anything.”
It appears her fans have similar feelings of excitement to see her back on stage.
