Who, if anyone, will be joining Rihanna during her much-anticipated return?
Other than Rihanna performing, nothing has been announced around guests, and there haven’t been any rumors of note. In 2017, Lady Gaga went with no guests for her show at Super Bowl 51. The year prior, The Weeknd went with no guests, but the previous three Super Bowls each featured at least two guests.

Q: It seems like you always know the right time to jump in and take control. There are a lot of people who are a part of this show and a huge part of the reasons why this show is going to be as incredible as it is, and I couldn't have done it without them.

Is it the Fenty highlighter or are you just excited to hang out with us this morning?
