Twitter Loses It for Rihanna's Super Bowl Halftime Show
Rihanna ruled at the Super Bowl with a halftime show that reminded viewers of her status as a global superstar... and Twitter lost it in response.
"After the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles retired to their locker rooms, Rihanna took the field for the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, kicking off her set with 'Bitch Better Have My Money,'" Bustle reported.
"Celebrities and fans on Twitter were here for every banger that followed — RiRi showed everyone exactly who 'Run This Town' tonight."
Prior to her Super Bowl halftime gig, Rihanna told Rolling Stone about the challenge of working her catalogue of material into a set that was to last a mere 13 minutes, Bustle recounted.
"You're trying to cram 17 years of work into 13 minutes, so it's difficult," the "Umbrella" singer told the iconic music magazine. "Some songs we had to lose because of that, and that's going to be OK, but I think we did a pretty good job of narrowing it down."
Her fans took to Twitter to express their delight in every aspect of the performance.
Some of Rihanna's fellow music legends were on hand to take in the show including her partner, ASAP Rocky.
News outlets taking to the platform didn't overlook the fact that in addition to the music, Rihanna treated fans to some happy news.
