Rihanna's Superbowl Performance GATHERS 118.7 MILLION viewers, 24.9 million views in 24 hours, 1.2 million likes, critical acclaim and Spotify streams are bumped by 633%. Why?

It’s a known fact and happens every year when an artist performs at the SB their sales sky rocket. A lot of people just tune in for the Halftime show in general so of course she’s gonna get views. It’s been years since she’s been on a stage as well.

The performance is a bit underwhelming, but I love seeing Rih on stage again! Diamonds is such a classic!!

The song that killed her career with me

Because it was a great performance! Lots of hits, iconic outfit, some live vocals and the fact it was Rihanna on stage of the Superbowl, of course.

Worst this decade and definitely not top ten. People are just clouded because she’s pregnant and because that’s their fave but she has zero charisma. She has the songs, but no stage presence whatsoever. Barely any vocals

I can’t believe NYT just put her as the #3 best SB show of all time. I think she’d even roll her eyes at that one. 

I think it was because of the stage and the platforms which was pretty cool and brave of her. The fact that she performed while pregnant (after just having a baby) and the fact that its her return, and her catalog of hits really sold the show. The Hip Hop halftime show didn't have a lot of dancing either but it was packed with songs that people love. That was also one of the best halftime shows.

[MasterMindz]

Those numbers are expected for the halftime show regardless of who is performing. Anyway, considering Riri was pregnant, the performance was okay.

I just love this woman's music! Regardless of any performance her hits are timeless. 

Also, he summarizes my opinion :

Sorry but that just seems like a pity win. Cool stages and platforms doesn’t make it one of the best SB halftimes of all time. There have been artists who really put all their blood, sweat and tears into their halftimes. Unfortunately, this was not the case here.

i do think if she wasn’t pregnant she would have put in a lot more effort.

Because her music career is so dry ("like your *******") so this, in her career, is a big deal  even tho is still dry after this lmao

Agree. You don’t need dancing and crazy choreography to have a good performance. Sometimes it’s just about the music, visuals, and stage presence.

I tuned in too doesn’t mean I liked it 

[The Pink Sheep]

I'm a REAL Rihanna fan. It's funny y'all talk mad **** behind a keyboard yet ur opinion don't matter. You ain't relevant. She is.

That song literally made me stop liking her. I was a fan up until that 

[nstink]

That's...usually what happens when u perform for Superbowl, no matter who u are

[Stefani]

"Critical acclaim". Sites like RS or any other stan culture infiltrated sites which have been kissing her *** since Anti don't count.

I'm glad her streaming numbers and sales increased (which literally happens to all performers lol), but overall it seems like the main benefit of her performance was that her Fenty brand got a ton of searches, which only strengthens the argument that she's an Avon lady now.

Good 4 ha!

The performance was not what i'd expected but whatever 🙄 she did her farts dance, used make up palette & now she can retire, having her own fam set for life. Her SB was a farewell to her music imho 😁

I felt that! She was saying her goodbye to music. But like, at least tell us that so we stop waiting for a new album!

Well, i stopped waiting already because i'd get kidnaped by aliens sooner than hear new music from her  I'd recommend u to do the same haha

[Neydelinska Spearsi]

Girl has the same energy levels like me and still won.

 

There's hope in life after all.

 

Go Rih, barely move and keep on slaying for simply breathing.

 

[Dama Etro]

Now imagine how high her numbers would have went up if she actually did a good performance 

[electricopop]

It's not that bad, but it's not that great either. Riri just understood the assignment.
