The Super Bowl halftime show featuring Rihanna was a major hit. Her performance was about as hyped as the contest between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
According to the ratings posted by Fox Sports, the performance was a worldwide massive hit.
In fact, she reached a total of 118.7 million viewers, which means she had more viewers than the actual game. It should be noted that this was the highest viewership the game has seen in six years. The game gathered 113 million viewers, just 5.7 million less than Rihanna’s performance.
This increase in viewership makes it the second most-watched Super Bowl game of all time, just behind the 2015 game.
Rihanna’s performance surpassed Katy Perry’s halftime show with 114.4 million viewers, which was also in 2015. Perry had the most watched show record for eight years until Rihanna came along.
