Rihanna has been officially confirmed as the headliner for the 2023 NFL Super Bowl halftime show this weekend. Following the announcement, fans were understandably thrilled that she was making a massive musical comeback – her last album was released in 2016. Still, Rihanna has countless hits spanning multiple records, prompting a controversial question online: what would (or should) his setlist look like?
While it’s unclear at this time if Rihanna will be going solo for the entire halftime or considering special guests, it looks like the NFL may be pushing her to bring some surprise stars onto the stage. According to TMZ, there is currently a list of more than 50 artists who could join her, but nothing has been confirmed. Rihanna’s collabs — which include Drake, Jay-Z, Britney Spears, Paul McCartney and Kanye West — could also make a potential appearance.
After Billboard posted an article about what they think Rihanna’s set should be, many fans were confused by some clear omissions, including “Kiss It Better” and her debut single “Pon De Replay.” On social media, other posts directly asked Rihanna Navy fans what songs they thought she should sing. Keep scrolling to see some of the fan reactions, which include everything from her massive hits to hidden gems for fans to enjoy.
