Singer rihanna, his guest star this year for the halftime show in Super Bowl LVII, assured that this Thursday it was motherhood that gave him the strength to agree to a scenario as “intimidating” as this.
Speaking at the press conference for her participation in the much-anticipated show scheduled for halftime between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs game at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the Barbados businesswoman also stressed:
I was three months postpartum and I wondered if I should make these decisions now? Maybe I’ll regret it later.
But it was precisely that motherhood, he said, that gave him the assurance that I could handle a stage as big as the sporting event, and that he hadn’t played in seven years.
When you become a mother, something happens that makes you feel like you can do anything. As daunting as it was, there was something exciting about this challenge.
Rihanna, 34, also assured that it was so important to her to show on one of the most important stages in the world that a black woman from a country like Barbados could go so far.
I represent immigrants from my country, black women all over the world, it’s important for people to see that opportunities are out there and I’m honored to be a part of the show this year.
In 2018, Rihanna turned down the offer to be a part of the show that continues to this day. Support the black community in solidarity with San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kapernick.
The player was banned from the team in 2016 after staging a protest against racial injustice and police brutality and in response several artists refused to be part of the break in the years that followed.
This time Rihanna agreed and as he explained, he is very focused on the rehearsals for this show, in addition to realizing that he is very strict with the details.
“I’m very bossy and can be annoying to people around me.” underlined the singer, justifying this way of working, because whether the show ultimately succeeds or fails, it is his name that guides him.
In addition to Rihanna’s main serve at halftime, there will be others before the game begins.
Next, actress and singer Sheryl Lee Ralph Lift will perform Every Voice and Sing, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds will sing America the Beautiful, and finally, country artist Chris Stapleton will perform the US national anthem as usual.
Rihanna takes on Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J Blige and Kendrick Lamar, who were selected to perform at the last edition of the Super Bowl instead of SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
