With a simple photo of an American football, bad girl Rihanna impacted the internet by announcing her performance at the next Super Bowlwhich will take place on February 12th of next year.

Six years since his last album, ANTI, released in early 2016, with big hits like Work It is Love On The BrainRihanna gives the first signs that her long-awaited return to music is getting closer and will come in style. The National Football League (NFL) confirmed that the singer will be the main attraction of the halftime show of the sports final last Sunday (25). The announcement took everyone by surprise since the artist just gave birth to her first child in May, in addition to already being away from music to focus on other aspects of her career as a businesswoman.

Days before the announcement, the TMZ website had denied rumors that the attraction would be Taylor Swift, who declined the invitation, as she is focused on re-recording her remaining albums after having the purchase of her repertoire denied by the record company that owns the rights.

Despite the shock, the news was well received, with fans celebrating online, sharing memes and theorizing about a new album. Some even joked about the possibility that the singer no longer remembers the lyrics to her songs. It is worth remembering that Rihanna was already invited to perform at the event in 2020, but declined in support of athlete and activist Colin Kaepernick, who used his visibility to protest against police violence against black people.

Over the past few days, Rihanna and her boyfriend, A$ap Rocky, have been photographed making a few visits to a recording studio in Los Angeles, which has only generated more anticipation for fans. Some celebrities have also commented on the announcement with enthusiasm.Yelling”, wrote singer Lizzo, while influencer Nikkie De Jager, also known as Nikkie Tutorials, reposted the publication with some crown emojis.
