All eyes will be on Rihanna for her halftime show performance at Super Bowl LVII. As the big game nears, Rihanna dropped a trailer for the show.
On Friday, a short 30-second clip was released. The video starts off showing a silhouette of the singer as she slowly walks forward. Flashes of light shine on Rihanna, as comments from different voices play in the background.
"Dude, Rihanna, we've waited for you," a voice can be heard saying in the clip. "It's been six years since the nine-time Grammy-winner dropped an album," another voice said.

All the voices then go quiet, and Rihanna is standing in the frame wearing a bright green furry jacket as she puts her finger up to her lips signaling for silence before her 2016 hit "Needed Me" starts to play.
In September, the Savage X Fenty founder very subtly announced that she would be headlining the halftime show by posting a photo of her hand holding up a football.
"We are thrilled to welcome Rihanna to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show stage," Seth Dudowsky, NFL head of music, said in a statement per The Hollywood Reporter. "Rihanna is a once-in-a-generation artist who has been a cultural force throughout her career. We look forward to collaborating with Rihanna, Roc Nation and Apple Music to bring fans another historic Halftime Show performance."
