“Very Low Effort”: NFL Fans Left Disappointed by Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show After Suspected Move
Follow Us
Super Bowl fever has gripped America as the best teams of the season are going head-to-head against each other. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are back on the field after going into halftime. As is the custom, a very popular artist performs during Super Bowl halftime. This time, it was the billionaire singer and makeup mogul, Rihanna, who enthralled fans at Apple Music’s Super Bowl 2023 Halftime Show. Even though RiRi returned to the stage after a long hiatus, her performance failed to impress fans who thought that she did what is dreaded by many listeners.
When Rihanna appeared on the stage, fans saw that the 34-year-old was pregnant again. She started her performance with the track ‘B*tch Better Have My Money’ and then followed it along with many of her other hits.
Previously, fans were trying to guess which songs the R&B singer would kick off her show with. Although many fans grooved to the rhythm of her top charting songs, some did not like that the singer chose to lip-sync most of her performance.

Fans express their disappointment and displeasure at Rihanna and her mediocre performance
Why do artists choose to lip-sync? Halftime shows have become as grand as any movie premiere. They involve complex choreography, majestic sets, and many cameos. Therefore, to keep up with all that is happening around them, artists often choose or prefer to rely on backup vocal tracks. It is rather easy to spot if a singer is lip-syncing or not. And that is what the NFL fans did when they watched Rihanna’s performance.

This fan thinks this year’s halftime show was one of the worst.
Might be the worst #SuperBowl halftime show I’ve ever watched. No energy. Boring. She’s not even trying to lip sync properly. Horrible. #Rihanna
