Background and overview

In October 2019, Bajan singer Rihanna revealed to Vogue that she had turned down an offer from the National Football League (NFL) to perform at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. In 2016, Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem at the start of NFL games in protest of police brutality and racial inequality in the United States. He later filed a grievance against the NFL and its owners in November 2017, accusing them of colluding to keep him out of the league. Kaepernick withdrew the grievance in February 2019, ahead of Super Bowl LIII, after reaching a confidential settlement with the NFL. [4]

On September 22, 2022, the NFL announced that the new naming rights sponsor for the Super Bowl halftime show would be Apple Music starting with Super Bowl LVII, replacing sponsor Pepsi, [5] which had sponsored the previous ten halftime shows. [6] Some media reports alleged on social media that American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift would be the headlining performer, based on her associations with Apple and traditional Pepsi rival, Coca-Cola. Subsequently, various outlets reported that Swift had turned down the offer, claiming that she would not do the halftime show until her re-recording process was complete. [7] [8]

On September 25, 2022, the NFL announced that Rihanna would headline the halftime show. [9] The performance would be Rihanna's first live performance in five years since appearing at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards in 2018. [10] In an interview with Apple Music's Nadeska Alexis, several days before the halftime show, Rihanna said she was on the 39th version of the show's set list. [11] In the days leading up to the halftime show, Rihanna teased in an interview with Nate Burleson that she might bring out a "surprise" guest. [12] It was confirmed following the show that she was pregnant with her second child. [13]

Reception

Chris Richards of The Washington Post believed Rihanna "made the biggest show of her life look easy". [14] Rating it 5 stars out of five, Mark Beaumont of The Independent called the gig "a roaring success". [15] Jason Lamphier of Entertainment Weekly called it a "low-stakes return" for Rihanna, offering a "slick, chic, serviceable survey of some of pop's best offerings of the past two decades." [16]

The Daily Beast 's Coleman Spilde argued "Rihanna's performance may not have had the same level of spectacle as her peers, but it was distinctly Rihanna. She let the world move around her, showing off decades of power and influence like she was simply clocking into work." [17] Rolling Stone 's Rob Sheffield praised Rihanna for "being a boss and a half on her flying stage, reigning supreme" without any guests or surprises. However, he wrote that "two consecutive Kanye songs", "All of the Lights" and "Run This Town" felt "mighty strange". [18] Steven McIntosh of BBC News wrote "The singer rattled through several recognisable hits, front-loading her set with some of her most danceable and up-tempo numbers including "Only Girl (In The World)" and the excellent "Where Have You Been". It was a half-time show not short on spectacle, even once she had been lowered to the ground. [19]

In a review for The New York Times , Adrian Horton argued "Rihanna — one of the crucial pop hitmakers of the 21st century — needs the Super Bowl less than the Super Bowl needs her, and her performance was a master class in doing exactly enough." [20] The San Diego Union-Tribune 's George Varga opined that the show was "more a triumph of choreography" than music, adding that "Rihanna crammed so many songs — make that, parts of songs — into her set that few of them had a chance to breathe, let alone gain traction and take flight." [21] At NJ.com, Bobby Olivier criticized some of the setlist choices and felt Rihanna lacked showmanship, opining that "this halftime show will go down as one of the lamest offerings in recent memory."
