Watch Rihanna’s Super Bowl LVII Halftime Press Conference

Before she hits the stage for her Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime show, Rihanna dished on what to expect in an interview moderated by Nadeska.

[@Kimmystyles2]

Oh the interviewer is perfect she asked great questions, she’s respectful, respect’s boundaries and seems genuinely interested in knowing more about the individual she’s interviewing and Rihanna seem truly open and receptive to answer her questions. This is beautiful. Thank you interviewer for a great interview. I love this❤😊

[@aaronarevalo2182]

She really was!

[@Madameo8]

Totally agree!!

[@lilchef6124]

Nadeska is a trained professional. All of her interviews are intentional.

[@taloncarson4107]

Been watching Nadeska since she worked at Complex back in the day. Great at what she does

[@atelianaamato8223]

Yes she was a great interviewer, I loved the questions she asked and the way she articulated them 👌🏽

[@yansycooks8045]

What a lovely job this interviewer did. A couple of things that I loved 1) She was authentic 2) She did her homework. Love that teacher note she read 3) She put Riri at ease. And for Rihanna - she’s the epitome of cool - her energy is incredible. Can’t wait for this SB show. Let’s fly!! ❤️👑💯

[@UltimateSwordsmen]

Wow what a refreshing interview. The questions were intelligently asked and answered! Well done to both these women! Can’t wait for Sunday!

[@MsElectricLover]

What’s most amazing and beautiful about her as an artist is that she’s authentic and goes with the flow, without even trying to be a perfectionist, she stays true to herself and allows herself to slip and even fall, but she’s always ready to stand up and thrive again. That right there is a true artist, a true human and a fighter. 🌹✨

[@dariag2545]

This interview was genuine and full of honesty. Love watching interviews that are professional yet charismatic and in tune. One question I was hoping would be asked: “Rihanna, to compose the track list for this years’ Super Bowl, we’re there any creatives you were excited to revisit the work with?” The special part about this interview is that Rihanna, heart-to-heart, expressed how she is putting up a show that not only expresses her roots but warmly welcomes other cultures to join the celebration of an event that: brings people of all walks of life to one space.

[@masinavalu]

"Celebrate my Catalogue" hits different- She's a Queen!

[@AnaAcuraErica]

And that she did! Even though there were sooo many more songs I would’ve loved to see her do but hearing the beat to “Pose” from her anti album almost brought me to tears cus that song is my fav but no one talks about it! It didn’t get the love it should’ve but it’s good to know she likes the beat!! 🎉🎉

[@joeyalbert_]

Seeing how proud and excited she was talking about performing makes me sad that some people thought it was a bad halftime show :(

[@kai6115]
