Super Bowl 2023. It was an unforgettable show! Rihanna captivated millions of people around the world not only with an amazing performance, but also revealed her big secret on stage at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. The fans are excited! See pictures from Arizona in the gallery.
The finals of the American Football League (NFL) were, as usual, not only a great celebration of sports, but also entertainment. This time Rihanna was the star of the event, but Arizona also played host to other big names in the music world, such as rapper Jay-Z and DJ Snake.
However, it was Rihanna who was the main character on stage. The Barbadian singer sang her biggest hits at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, including hits like “Umbrella,” “Diamonds,” “Only Girl (In the World)” and “We Found Love.” But the biggest impression on the viewers was made by her announcement during the break of the match that she was pregnant. It was so surprising that Rihanna’s first child was born in May 2022.
Rihanna masterfully used the fact that millions of people are watching her and placed one of her products during the performance. The unexpected make-up correction was neither a stage move nor a coincidence.
Fans also welcomed Chris Stapleton’s nostalgic performance. The acclaimed country singer, with eight Grammys and five Billboard Music Awards to his credit, presented a nostalgic repertoire, including blues, that brought sensitive listeners to tears.
Stapleton opened the 2023 Super Bowl singing the US National Anthem, with Sheryl Lee Ralph performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and Babyface performing the patriotic “America the Beautiful.”
