A few months ago, billionaire artist and makeup mogul, Rihanna, dropped a picture holding a pigskin. Fans knew right away what that meant. And now on Friday, the ‘Umbrella’ singer uploaded a preview on her social media accounts.

Adam Blackstone, a well-known American musician who frequently collaborates with R&B, Hip Hop, and pop singers in the country, will serve as the show’s musical director.

Rihanna’s last live performance was in 2018 at the Grammy Awards. Fans will see her perform on stage once again after she turned down an opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl in 2019.

She confessed that she was feeling nervous at the thought of performing live once again. It has the potential to become the most-watched halftime show because RiRi is finally ending her musical break.
