Football’s biggest night is upon us, and while many would argue the primary concern is whether the Chiefs or the Eagles emerge victorious, some of us are looking forward to the game for other reasons: the snacks, the commercials, and the halftime show.
The one and only Rihanna will take the stage this year, which is interesting for a couple of reasons. Number one, she’s a stunning live performer who’s sure to bring unexpected surprises and certifiable bops to our TV screens. But second, she actually turned down the invitation to headline halftime back in 2019, when she explained she “couldn’t be a sellout” by performing for the NFL after its bad blood with Colin Kaepernick following his decision to kneel during the National Anthem in protest of racial injustice.
The intersection of sports and current events is actually a common theme among the greatest halftime shows in history, as you’ll see in the list below. While we wait to see what Rihanna has in store for us this weekend, join us in looking back at the 10 most spectacular performances we’ve been treated to on game day — and here’s hoping that this year’s show is so good, we have to add Rihanna to this rarefied group for the 2024 edition.
