Rihanna‘s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show featured a subtle tribute to André Leon Talley, the late editor-at-large of Vogue.The pop star made her highly-anticipated live return at this year’s NFL final, which took place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona last Sunday (February 12).She delivered a career-spanning 13-minute set, including hits such as ‘We Found Love’, ‘Only Girl (In The World)’ and ‘Rude Boy’.

That’s for the fans and not for the players,” he added.The recently retired quarterback led the New England Patriots to victory over the Carolina Panthers at the Super Bowl XXXVIII and won the game’s MVP award, but what’s remembered most was the halftime performance featuring Jackson, Timberlake, Diddy, Nelly, Kid Rock and Jessica Simpson.AdvertisementThe halftime show ended with an infamous moment when Timberlake exposed Jackson’s breast while performing “Rock Your Body.”“I think, in the end, it was probably a good thing for the NFL because everyone got to talk about it, and it was just more publicity and more publicity for halftime shows,” Brady said.
