MIAMI, Fla. – No doubt, Rihanna’s Super Bowl LVII halftime performance on Sunday night will rank high on the best performances list. And, she made history by being the first Super Bowl halftime artist to perform pregnant.
There are numerous lists compiling the best halftime shows ever. Consistently clocking in as the No. 1 best halftime show is the artist known as Prince when he performed in 2007 at Miami’s Dolphin Stadium.
