Rihanna’s first solo performance since 2017 is now just hours away. The pop star is all set to take over the Super Bowl Halftime show to deliver a medley of her hits as being anticipated by the fans. The fashion icon has reportedly “been putting in 100 percent and everything she has to get ready for her halftime performance.”
“She’s so excited and laser focused on every detail,” A source from ET added. “There’s so much happening from her costume changes, her songs, and choreography with the dancers, and she is making the decisions on all of it. She just is practicing with her team of dancers and crew at all hours. There’s no time for sleep right now and they are all so dedicated.”
The source further added, “She knows this performance will be iconic for years to come and it will live on forever. She’s been tweaking things and saying how this is going to be craziest 17 minutes of her life. She is nervous, but also knows she is going to kill it. She wants everything to be perfect because she hasn’t performed in so long. She’s putting pressure on herself and wants to blow people’s minds. She wants people from her country and all over the world to feel her speaking to them. She believes it’s a chance to do more than sing and entertain, and that it’s a time to speak to where she came from and represent who she is. Her performance will be all of that.”
The ‘Umbrella’ singer is also very much excited to perform before her boyfriend A$AP Rocky and their eight-month-old son. “She feels grateful to have A$AP’s support and has been talking about her son at rehearsals and showing videos to her dancers and team. She is such a devoted, hardworking mom and it’s really amazing to see,” the insider revealed.
