The news that Rihanna herself is making a comeback in the form of the Super Bowl halftime show has blown us all away - quite literally.
A million and one questions are circling the internet around the special guests she may or may not bring out, what she will be wearing and what she’s going to sing. It’s a lot to process, we get it.
It’s quite hard to believe that nearly two decades following her triumphant career she is yet to perform at the Super Bowl, but her moment awaits, and we can’t wait to see it right before our very eyes.

Her discography is made up of eight albums, and with the third-most number-one singles in history and 20 years' worth of bangers, it raises the question of how she will ever condense that down into a show that normally averages just 12 to 15 minutes.
The disappointing news is that some fan favourites are bound to be missed out. The performance is set to showcase a maximum of seven songs, and it’s pretty fair to say there are far more tunes that Riri has blessed our ears with over the last 20 years.
She may even do a mash-up of all the iconic hits so that she can pack her setlist full of all the songs we want to hear. So what is her official setlist?
Well, as of yet, the setlist has not been announced, and it remains likely that this will be the case until the performance is live on our screens.
But while we wait with bated breath, here is the dream setlist fans would love to see on the Super Bowl halftime stage:
- “Pon de Replay”
- “SOS”
- “Umbrella”
- “Rude Boy”
- “Only Girl (In the World)”
- “Diamonds”
- “B*tch Better Have My Money”
- “Work”
The big halftime extravaganza will take place on February 12, during the Super Bowl showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
UK fans can watch the game live on either ITV1 or Sky Sports. Alternatively, you will be able to stream it on ITVX and NowTV, or you can actually subscribe to the NFL game pass.
The kick-off is set to commence at around 23:30 UK time, meaning that the halftime show will begin at roughly 1:30am.
It’s going to be a long one, but it's definitely one worth waiting up for!
