Moments before Rihanna performed for the Superbowl LVIII halftime show, she said that Beyonce inspired and prepared her for this latest gig.
During a sit-down with Nate Burleson on NFL and iHeart Radio’s The Process, Rih also applauded the singer-songwriter. To prepare for her upcoming performance, she took notes on Beyonce’s halftime show in 2013.
