Yeah she probably has like 0.1% interest in returning as a musical act. She f**king hated touring. She’s not an especially great performer either, but that’s why I think this halftime show is going to be kind of a camp classic.
Idk why she keeps cock teasing instead of just following the Flo Rida blueprint. Just drop random s**t as a side hustle. In the streaming era, you really don’t need an album to release music and I’m honestly surprised more artists and labels haven’t seen the investment potential in this. Not that albums aren’t profitable, but artists like Rihanna do not have the time.
I don’t see Britney for “S&M” (it’s like Britney’s worst vocal on any officially released anything too), but it would be funny. Just put her Instagram live on the Jumbotron for her verse.

and sorry for the double post but rihanna now has 5 songs charting on us spotify ahead of tonight’s halftime show! umbrella #105 (highest debut), needed me #124, love on the brain #129 (biggest gain, +59), lift me up #172, stay #193. also 6 songs on the apple music chart: umbrella #86, needed me #97 (biggest gain, +41), love on the brain #101, lift me up #114, work #123, and oddly loveeeeeee song at #179 (which i doubt she’s gonna perform so idk why it’s here but it’s great and very underrated so i would not mind if she performed it, solo tho pls)

Do we think she’ll announce the stadium tour during the Super Bowl or after it’s finished?

HDD said there would be a tour and local sources said Bogota and Brazil are pretty much confirmed. There’s also huge promo surrounding her performance on German media and a tour section was created on Eventim (German Ticketmaster) These could all be coincidences but I don’t know. It seems like a waste not to go on tour.

Like...I get being the half-time performer at the SuperBowl with nothing to promote, but...why the hell would an artist who doesn't even seem to enjoy touring OR performing randomly put on a tour without an album to support it. Sorry, Navy, but Rihanna is not exactly a legacy act.

Some are so dramatic. She wouldn’t be performing at the Super Bowl if she was done with music.

I couldn’t imagine the pressure on an artist performing on the Super Bowl. Many more people watch that than the Grammys and Oscars.

I always find this conversation ironic as you could literally go back a decade and replace “too long” with “too soon”. You could also go back half a decade ago to Anti and see the same conversations with Anti.
I want music as much as the next, but fans read way too much into things and build narratives upon speculation. Her annual nothing comments when asked about music reveal nothing in fact. It’s frustrating as fans, but maybe just trust the process?

Am I the only one that’s truly kinda disappointed (and even low key less excited for today) knowing she has cockteased music for so long and then gave up the biggest lead in she ever has had? And then to say new music will “take some time”. Phew.
Of course I’m still excited to see HER today and relish in her hits, but man….

I am nervous for her performance. Historically she has been hit and miss with her performances. When she is dialed in she is great but there have been times when she just phoned it in. Plus, it has been over 5 years since she took to the stage and I don’t think she is in that mode. Also her voice has changed a bit. It sounds so much more raspy so I am not sure how it will translate on the older songs.

I'm delusional but I believe that she is deliberately trolling us right now and will debut a new song during her performance. She's being too honest about not having any music ready, it HAS to be a joke. kinda thought about this too honestly since she came back with that one off for Black Panther, but if it’s anything I doubt it’s a whole album

Rihanna doesn't give a shit about music. This is simply a payday for her, and she won't even have to sing live. Win-win for her.

I don't think there will be a new song and I don't think there will be any announcement of a new album or tour following the performance either.
She probably isn't done with music completely but it's clearly on the backburner for her at this point. She has a family and other ventures that she's obviously more passionate about now. Super Bowl is just something to add to her legacy.

BBHMM? Why would she choose this?
Yeah im sorry but this s**t is boring.
She has one of the best catalogs and THIS is what she chose? It's like she doesn't even care anymore.
EDIT: Oh wait people are saying that she is pregnant. Well congrats in that case and it makes sense.
