The time for the 2023 Super Bowl has passed. Still, for some people, tonight’s football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles is meaningless compared to the halftime show. There’s an argument to be made that the Super Bowl halftime show is the most prestigious performance in all of music. For 15 minutes, millions of people around the world watch the Super Bowl halftime spectacle.
Since it is a high-profile gig, halftime is reserved for only the biggest stars of music and entertainment. Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, The Weekend, Sir Paul McCartney, Carol Channing (yes, really), U2 and Beyoncé are some of the famous artists who will perform at the Super Bowl. At Super Bowl LVII, Rihanna added her name to the list of memorable Super Bowl halftime performers.
In honor of Rihanna’s spectacular performance, here are the 10 best Super Bowl halftime shows of all time.
10. Jessica Simpson, Janet Jackson, P. Diddy, Nelly, Kid Rock, i Justin Timberlake — Super Bowl XXXVIII
SUPER BOWL 38 (XXXVIII) 2004 HALF TIME FULL – JANET JACKSON, JESSICA SIMPSON, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
Unfortunately, the wardrobe malfunction is what people will remember Super Bowl XXVIII for. However, the performances were very good. An eclectic group of pop stars, rock stars and rappers performed a medley of hits that satisfied millennials around the world.
Unfortunately, Janet Jackson was unfairly left to deal with the backlash after Justin Timberlake exposed her chest. However, Jackson was the best performer on stage that night, highlighted by her performance all for you.
Set list: The Way You Move, All for You, Bad Boy for Life, Diddy to the tune of Mickey, Hot in Herre, Mo Money Mo Problems, Bawitdaba, Cowboy, Rhythm Nation, Rock Your Body
9. Katy Perry — Super Bowl XLIX
The most exaggerated performance of all time belongs to Katy Perry. However, her excess was not an obstacle, but rather a strength. Perry rode a giant mechanical tiger for roar and soared through the sky on a shooting star for Fireworks. Perry used the guests to her advantage, bringing out Lenny Kravitz for I kissed a girl and Missy Elliot for Get Ur Freak On and Work It.
However, Perry’s pop-centric performance will undoubtedly be remembered for the lefty sea foam, which became the Hall of Fame’s first meme with its animated dance moves.
Set list: Roar, Dark Horse, I Kissed a Girl, Teenage Dream, California Gurls, Get Ur Freak On, Work It, Lose Control, Fireworks
8. Rihanna — Super Bowl LVII
Rihanna’s FULL Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show
It’s been four long years since Rihanna performed live, let alone released an album. Thus, her halftime performance was already viewed with more anticipation and some skepticism than most. Can the increasingly reclusive singer, who seems more interested in running her billion-dollar cosmetics company Fenty than making music, succeed?
She did not disappoint. Revealing her pregnancy right out of the gate, RiRi put on one of the most tightly choreographed and conceptual halftime shows in history. Although she didn’t fly through the air or run around the stadium like other performances, she didn’t need to. Armed with a brigade of backup dancers in puffy pants and jackets and floating platforms straight out of the Super Smash Brothers video game, Rihanna dazzled and reminded everyone why she is a music superstar. The Diamonds’ top game, with the stadium illuminated by fans’ mobile phone flashlights, was a superb half-time show full of memorable moments.
Set list: Bitch Better Have My Money, Where Have You Been, Only Girl (In The World), We Found Love, Rude Bow, Woke, Wild Thoughts, Pour It Up, All of The Lights, Run This Town, Umbrella, Diamonds

Gaga used the entire stadium and highlighted the spectacle in her performance. From the aforementioned jump to the non-stop pyrotechnics and complex choreography, Gaga was the ultimate showwoman. Plus it helps to have hits like An expressionless face, Born this wayand Just dance Available.
