Earlier today global superstar Rihanna joined Apple Music Radio host Nadeska Alexis for the official Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show Press Conference.

During the conversation Rihanna expressed excitement for her return to the stage this Sunday at the inaugural Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime show, the focus and preparation that’s gone into this moment, being asked to perform three months after giving birth to her son, and the “scary” and “exhilarating” challenge of returning to the stage. She also discussed holding on to her core values, the challenges of crafting a 13-minute set list spanning her 17-year-career, the importance of representation, work-life balance, and her next musical chapter.
