Rihanna is all set to make a comeback to the stage with a performance at the Super Bowl half-time on February 12. Fans of the singer have been eagerly anticipating the singer's performance who has not toured or released an album in 2016. Rihanna will be performing during the break when the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Since 2016, Rihanna has been on a break from music. Instead, she has focused on her fashion brand, and last year welcomed her first child with A$AP Rocky. She made a comeback to music in 2022 when she recorded a new song 'Lift Me Up' for Marvel's 'Wakanda Forever'. It was Rihanna's first new solo single in six years. The song has fetched her nomination in the best original song category at the Oscars.

Fans hope that the 34-year-old's Super Bowl performance could signal a bigger musical comeback later this year.

What is Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl is the final playoff game of the National Football League (NFL), to determine the league champion every year. This year, Philadelphia Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona.

The game typically lasts about three-and-a-half hours, with a 30-minute break in the middle, which is where an A-list pop star performs to keep the audience entertained. The break also witnesses trailer launch of big ticket summer films.
