The singer had previously declined to perform in the 2019 half-time show out of solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. But in a recent interview ahead of her Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4 , Rihanna said that the timing and circumstances this time around were right for her. «It was a challenge that I welcomed.
