Rihanna is making her return to live music this Sunday during a historic Super Bowl LVII halftime show. Rumors are rampant about what songs she’ll perform, what (if any) guests she’ll invite to share the stage with her, and if she’ll announce her long-awaited ninth studio album that same night.
In only eight years, from 2005 to 2012, Rihanna released seven albums, all of which achieved at least Platinum status and cemented her as a household name. But her most recent studio album, Anti, came out in 2016, followed only by a few features and tracks for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. That’s not to say she hasn’t been busy; just take a look at Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty. However, the world is hungry for new music.
Now, seven years out from Anti — which contained the hit singles “Work,” “Needed Me,” and “Love On the Brain” — Rihanna is taking the Super Bowl LVII halftime stage full of creative possibility. Will this be the start of a new era for the pop queen, or a nostalgic look back at all of her musical success?
Don’t miss a second of her return to live music. Tune in to Super Bowl LVII Radio (Ch. 104), SiriusXM Hits 1 (Ch. 2), and The Heat (Ch. 46) to hear Rihanna’s performance live. The Super Bowl kicks off on February 12 at 6:30pm ET.
MORE: Rihanna & Friends
SiriusXM’s Super Bowl LVII Radio (Ch. 104) also put together a special music mix titled Rihanna and Friends, featuring Rihanna’s music as well as that of Chris Stapleton (who’ll be singing the National Anthem at the start of the game), Babyface (who’ll perform “America the Beautiful”), and more. It’s the perfect playlist to ramp your excitement up ahead of Sunday. In the words of Rihanna, please don’t stop the music! Available exclusively on the SXM App.
