I feel umbrella, we found love, and diamonds are the three I’m most certain of. I’d expect a loud track, but I’m not sure which of the first three singles (though only girl is probably best for the event). Hmm rude boy maybe ?

Pon de replay
SOS
Umberella
rude boy
Only girl
we found love
Diamonds
Work

Hmmmm those are prob her most defining hits of each era almost all are first singles

Love The Way You Lie is one of her biggest songs (yes, I know it’s technically Eminem’s). Can she bring out Eminem, Jay, Drake, Kanye, Paul McCartney DJ Khalid and Carlos Santana (to play the riff live) in 13 mins? 🤯

Your list is missing HUGE career defining songs.

Run This Town
This Is What You Came For
Wild Thoughts
What’s My Name
Don’t Stop The Music
Stay

Like she legit has too many hits to do this. She should get 20 mins.

[Snowbeast]

Also, it would break the internet if she dropped the album right after the show.

[rnb]

umbrella, don’t stop the music, we found love and diamonds are musts

[Snowbeast]

I think she should open with Hard 😂 those horns feel very football game and what a great verse to introduce

[Tea-why]

I am so glad Stereogum is on the Rihanna #1's era now!!

Variety hints at Rihanna dropping new album after the show. I also think the same, not dropping the album would be a huge waste of opportunity.

If Rihanna doesn’t release or at least announce an album with the Super Bowl (aka one of the biggest platforms an artist can get), then I doubt we’ll ever get another album.

I mean kendrick didn’t announce his album until 2 months after the super bowl so…

Kendrick didn't headline the show, he was merely a part of a legendary group performance. I think he used the Super Bowl promo as best as he could without disrespecting other performers: remind people who he is, that he's phenomenal, and get them asking "where's the new music" for a month or two.

Rihanna can and should capitalize on this performance and kick off her new album cycle. Whether it's a trailer during commercials, a visual announcement incorporated into the performance, or in the most unlikely scenario, a performance of her new single, there's plenty of opportunity for her to promote something other than Savage x Fenty and Fenty Beauty for once. I hope she uses it wisely.

That would be some awesome promo, not that she needs it. I agree she needs to release a new project already.

[rnb]

yeah this would be very smart for her

I think all back back catalog just got an Apple Digital Remaster this week. Signs point to a new release for sure.

[rnb]

pleaseeeeeee make 2023 the year she releases an album

[Maximillian]

I just pray she gives us a new song the week of SB and an album post SB. Would be the stuff legends do. However, I’m truly not holding my breath.

[aussie1]

My dream set list would be (not in order)

Pon de replay
Umbrella
Rude Boy
Only Girl
What's my name?
We found Love
Diamonds
Love on the Brain

[munx]

It’s Page Six.

[wjr15]

My setlist prediction for this weekend:

Don’t Stop The Music
Only Girl
Umbrella
Work
new song (I know, wishful thinking)
Diamonds
We Found Love

[theyaintready]

Please don't do Lift Me Up. And I know she's gunning for that Oscar, but she can keep that song far away from Sunday's performance.

Oh hey, I made this a while back and we have very similar song selections!

1. Disturbia (Intro) / Don’t Stop The Music (1:30)
2. Only Girl (In The World) (1:00)
3. Pon De Replay / Work (with elements of “Rude Boy” & “What’s My Name”) (4:00)
4. Stay / Love On The Brain (2:00)
5. Umbrella (2:00)
6. Diamonds (2:00)
7. We Found Love (2:00)

If the rumor about the 20 minute halftime show was true, I can see her squeezing in "Needed Me" (or another one of her trap cuts)  & "Lift Me Up" (her current single).

[rnb]

her fans are amazing

[It's me, bitch.]

I like this game:

Umbrella
Disturbia
Only girl
We found love
Diamonds

I wish they could give her more time.

[mithras]

Not to be THAT gay, but does anyone know what time she will start?

The Super Bowl starts around 6:30pm EST. Usually a half lasts around 1.5 hours. So expect her to be on stage anywhere from 8:00pm to 8:30pm EST.

this is sooo good.

while we're at Run This Town, the official video is on YT again

This is the most hyped I’ve ever been for a SB halftime show. If she can keep up the energy/charisma throughout her performance, I could see this being my favorite halftime show of all time. We’ll just have to wait and see this Sunday.

3 days i am literally gonna die

[Caviar]

I’m crying. I know WFL will be completely epic.

The Latin media is saying Shakira might be Rihanna's special guest. That said, the Latin media likes to inject Shakira's name into everything, so take it with a truck load of salt. It's mostly all about a poll on Billboard.com where they ask who should be Rhianna's special guest and Shakira won the poll:
