Watch Super Bowl Halftime Show 2023: catch-up
We've Found Love in a hopeless place, and it was with Rihanna at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show. While the game itself was quite the spectacle (spoiler: the Chiefs won), most eyes were on Rihanna as she returned for her first live performance in quite a while (how about that baby bump?) at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Having not released a new record since her eighth studio album Anti in 2016, Rihanna returned from her hiatus with the release of the Oscar-nominated track "Lift Me Up" for the Black Panther: Wakana Forever soundtrack. While a reggae project has been confirmed alongside a 2023 stadium tour, the Halftime Show was very much a soft launch into the next era of Rihanna.
There's no doubt she pulled out all the stops in her long-awaited return. From her bold red outfit to those amazing floating stages, the show was absolutely one for the history books. Commenting on performing live after seven years, Rihanna said the Super Bowl gig was certainly "scary", but that she would be "representing for immigrants, representing for my country, Barbados, representing for black women everywhere."
Desperado for more Rihanna? We explain how to watch the full replay of the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show below.

How to watch the Super Bowl Halftime Show from anywhere
If you're a US citizen on vacation or working overseas trying to tune into Fox, for instance, you can still watch the Super Bowl Halftime Show just as you would at home.
While services like Sling TV and ITVX are only available to their respective countries (the US and UK), there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, US citizens in the UK can subscribe to a VPN, join a US-based server, and access their subscription from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home. The same goes for Brits abroad looking for a free stream on ITV.
Step-by-step of using a VPN to unblock:
1. Choose a VPN and install it - our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN, with the 12-month plan offering the best value
2. Connect to a server - for Sling TV, you'll want to connect to a server based in the US, or those looking for a ITV stream, the UK
3. Head over to your stream of choice - carry on reading to see all of the free options available worldwide
