Donald Trump rips Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show: ‘Worst in history’
Donald Trump took to social medial Sunday to make it clear he wasn’t a fan of Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime performance Sunday, calling it an “epic fail” in a Truth Social post.
Rihanna, who took the stage pregnant, performed a medley of her biggest hits, including “Umbrella” and “We Found Love” during her first live performance in seven years.
“EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history — This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language. Also, so much for her “Stylist!” Trump wrote.
Trump described Rihanna as “talentless” in an earlier Truth Social post leading up to her Super Bowl performance, per Newsweek.
She began and ended the Super Bowl 57 halftime show hovering high above the field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
She stood on a transparent rectangular platform that raised and lowered as she belted out the lyrics to “Bitch Better Have My Money.”
Dancers wearing white ski-style suits and shaded goggles had their own suspended platforms that moved in concert with hers.
She and the dancers were lowered to a long stage that matched her outfit as she sped through hits including “Work,” “Where Have You Been,” and “Only Girl,” belting out “Want you to make me feel like I’m the only girl in the world.”
