The halftime show for Super Bowl LVII is set as Rihanna is performing on the biggest stage in the world. But how does she feel about the event and who will be her special guest? TMZ recently caught up with the 34-year-old singer who was seen shopping at Bristol Farms in Los Angeles. The reporter asked Rihanna how is she feeling about performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
“I’m nervous, but I’m excited,” Rihanna said. She was then asked if her boyfriend A$AP Rocky was going to be her special guest for the show. “Maybe, girl,” Rihanna replied. With the show taking place in February, Rihanna has time to plan her show. But A$AP Rocky joining her on stage make sense since the two share a baby boy. Other artists that could join Rihanna are Jay-Z, Drake, Kanye West and Eminem since she has done multiple collaborations with them.
