The businesswoman also declared this Thursday at a press conference in Phoenix that she felt inspired to accept the challenge after she gave birth to her first child last May.
“When you become a mother, there’s something that just happens and you feel like you can take on the world, you can do anything, so as scared as it was, because I hadn’t been on stage in seven years, there’s something stimulating in all this challenge”.
“For me it is important to do it this year. It is important for representation, it is important that my son sees it”, added the interpreter of Umbrella.

He pointed out that it was not an easy task to choose the songs for his show from his repertoire. “My biggest challenge was deciding how to maximize 17 years of career in those 13 minutes I’ll have on stage, while at the same time honoring my entire catalog in the best way.”
Although no further details about her halftime show have been released, Rihanna noted that will incorporate elements of their Caribbean culture. “That’s one of the reasons why it’s so important to me to do this show: representation; representation of migrants, representation of my country, Barbados, and representation of black women around the world,” she said.
Also, she told the press that she is so focused on her show at Super Bowl LVII that she completely forgot that her birthday is coming up -February 20- and Valentine’s Day. “I’m like, Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl,” added the 34-year-old singer.
Next Sunday the Philadelphia Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs at State Farm Stadium in search of the National Football League championship.
