Rihanna is officially back! The singer and businesswoman will step on stage in February this year to sing at the Super Bowl halftime show, America’s most important sporting event. Recently, Apple Music released a trailer of Riri’s performance: lasting only thirty seconds, fans had the right to expect when the female singer affirmed that this performance would mark a milestone. a turning point in the world of popular culture.

Apple Music is a partner of the NFL and a new sponsor of the event. That means fans can expect to see exclusive details and previews of Apple Music’s Super Bowl halftime show by following @AppleMusic on TikTok , Instagram , and Twitter .

The trailer opens with stage lights on a black background, echoing somewhere with impatient voices hoping for Rihanna to return to music. “It’s been over 6 years… Riri, where are you?”, are some echoes before fading away, while the image shows Rihanna slowly walking towards the camera. The female singer just signaled silence and the song “Needed Me” played.

The release of the Apple Music trailer caused fans and the media to speculate that she was preparing to release new music. However, what we know now is that her Super Bowl performance marked an important step in her music career. After releasing the album “Anti” in 2016, the female singer did not step on stage once. Rihanna became a full-time fashion entrepreneur thanks to her Fenty empire, and took a break from her life as a singer. Therefore, her participation in this halftime show can be considered Rihanna’s epic return after 7 years of absence.

Many artists who were in charge of this halftime show invited other singers to participate in the show. So, one of the big questions is who will be Rihanna’s guest. Drake , Beyoncé or ASAP Rocky are some of the characters we can expect from Riri.
