Rihanna is headlining the Super Bowl and the internet is already melting down. The artist and entrepreneur made the announcement via an Instagram post that has received 6.6M likes. Reaction memes have flooded all social platforms as well, as fans elatedly react to the news of her return to performing after five years of “Rihanna drought.” RiRi was reportedly first offered the newsmaking gig back in 2020 but passed due to the league’s treatment of Colin Kaepernick, so her acceptance could signal positive progression for the NFL in terms of perception among the BIPOC community. The league has notably been spotlighting BIPOC artists during the big game for the last few years, with Dr Dre, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak, The Weeknd, Jennifer Lopez, and Shakira all performing since 2020. (UPROXX, BuzzFeed)
