Brown set the words against a purple background and he included the emojis of a red heart and prayer hands.

One star in attendance was Cardi B, who cheered on Rihanna from her seat in the stands.

And Zendaya was left speechless at the hitmaker’s reveal, as she posted an image to her Instagram Story that showed her looking stunned.

Sunday’s halftime performance marked the first time Rihanna has performed on live television since 2018, where she joined DJ Khaled on stage to sing Wild Thoughts at the Grammy Awards. 

The nine-time Grammy winner kicked off the show suspended on a platform high above the field as she belted out her single B**** Better Have My Money. 

A$AP Rocky kept a low profile at the event. The two have kept their growing family under the radar, and so far neither musician has shared the name of their child.

The hitmaker paired the suit with a set of chunky red trainers. The platform she was suspended on then descended toward the field, where she joined a bevy of dancers in white on stage. 

She kept her dancing moves to a minimum while letting the backup dancers pick up the slack.

Rihanna stuck to the hits and didn’t reveal any new songs during her performance, which featured 12 songs. She had the crowd going wild as she transitioned into Where Have You Been, followed by the hit Only Girl (In The World).

We Found Love, Rude Boy and her hit Work followed, though her collaborator Drake wasn’t featured on the later song. She continued with Wild Thoughts and Pour It Up.

The hitmaker made some controversial song choices, including an excerpt of her verse from the rapper Kanye West’s All Of The Lights, and she also performed part of Jay-Z’s Run This Town, which also featured West in its original version.
