In September 2022, the National Football League (NFL) confirmed Rihanna would be the headlining act at the biggest football event in America.
In the run-up to her performance, “Where Have You Been” began trending on Twitter, a reference to her 2011 smash hit and the teaser for the first-ever Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime show with fashion mogul.
Her 13-minute performance included Rihanna’s greatest hits such as “Rude Boy”, “Only Girl (In The World)”, “Work” and “Umbrella”.
