Rihanna “pinches” herself before her Super Bowl performance.
The 34-year-old singer is due to perform at the halftime show on Sunday (12.02.23), and Rihanna feels “grateful” to be where she is in her career.
The ‘Rude Boy’ singer – who gave birth to a baby boy in May and was recently nominated for an Oscar – told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Motherhood, the Oscars, the Super Bowl – I still pinch myself, Really. I am grateful. I am grateful. »
Rihanna received her first-ever Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, for ‘Lift Me Up’ from ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’.
And the chart star – who turns 35 on February 20 – is now firmly focused on her Super Bowl performance.
Rihanna – who has been dating rap star ASAP Rocky since 2020 – said: “Sunday is a great time. I was so focused on the Super Bowl that I totally forgot my birthday was coming up. I totally forgot about Valentine’s Day. »
The singer has already gone through “about 39 versions of the setlist” for her Super Bowl performance, and she’s determined to put on an unforgettable show.
Despite this, Rihanna admitted that it was difficult to “crush 17 years of work into 13 minutes”.
