Since her first child was born nine months ago, Rihanna's priorities have shifted. Though she's known for her impressive career, these days her son is number one in her life, and since becoming a mom, Rihanna has realized there is no such thing as work-life balance when you have a child.
She said things are "very different" now
Rihanna talked to Apple Music about what getting back to work has been like since she and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child last May.
"The balance is almost impossible because no matter how you look at it, work is always something that's going to rob you of time with your child. That's the currency now, that's where it goes," she said. "The magnitude of how much it weighs."
That's why she's been extra selective about what she takes on
And as you can probably guess, the Super Bowl halftime performance did end up being one of those things that she believed was worth her time — and we have a feeling many artists out there would agree.
"When you make decisions about what you're going to say yes to, it has to be worth it," she said.
Being a mom is what gave her the confidence to say yes to the Super Bowl
"When you become a mom, there's something that just happens where you feel like you can take on the world," she said. "You can do anything, and the Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world. So, as scary as that was… there's something exhilarating about the challenge of it all, and it's important for me to do this this year. It's important for representation. It's important for my son to see that."
He might not realize how cool his mama is yet, but one day he definitely will!
Recently, Rihanna gave us our first peek at her baby boy
In December, Rihanna took to TikTok to show off her baby boy for the first time ever. She shared an adorable clip of him sitting in his car seat, smiling and giggling away. As far as we can tell, this is one happy (and adorable) little boy.
He already looks so much like her!
We can't wait to see what Rihanna cooks up for us on Sunday
No matter what her plan is, we know that Rihanna is about to deliver an unforgettable halftime performance at a time when fans have been begging to see her perform again for so long.
Something tells us she'll have no problem turning this football game into a Rihanna concert.
