Singer Rihanna made history and entered the “Guinness Book”, the Book of Records, earning the highest TV audience for a performance during the Super Bowl halftime, in February this year.
As published on the official website, the performance attracted an audience of 121.017 million simultaneous viewers, according to an adjusted report from the company Nielsen, a specialist in data collection.
In fact, the revisited number jumped from 118.7 million and put Rihanna ahead of Katy Perry’s performance in 2015, which reached 121 million viewers.

Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime performance marked her live return to the stage in more than five years.
To the delight of the audience, the singer included hits such as “What’s My Name”, “We Found Love”, “Umbrella” and “Diamonds”. During her performance, the artist surprised by presenting a remix of the single “Rude Boy” with funk beats, made by a Brazilian DJ aged just 20.
Furthermore, she took the opportunity to reveal that she was pregnant with her second child with American rapper A$AP Rocky.
For 2024, singer Usher will headline the show, scheduled for February 11th, at Allegiant Stadium, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Better believe it.
