Rihanna’s goofy Oscar look sparks heated debate

Rihanna arrived at the Oscars at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California in an oversized Philadelphia Eagles t-shirt that sure surprised many fans. She also wore a Jean Paul Gaultier bucket hat paired with super comfy black and white sneakers.

As expected, fans on Twitter went wild after Rihanna’s super-comfortable look made headlines. While many called her outfit iconic, some also pointed out that calling everything “extraordinary,” groundbreaking, and wonderful isn’t right.

Rihanna wasn’t paid for her Super Bowl halftime performance

Rihanna’s performance at Super Bowl LVII was one of the best of any star in recent memory. However, many fans were shocked to learn that the NFL did not pay her for her blockbuster performance.

As it turns out, the world’s biggest league only covers the travel, crew and production costs of the performing artists. That means Rihanna wasn’t paid a dime for her performance on stage.

However, if the league doesn’t pay the stars, why do the biggest names in entertainment line up every year to perform at the Super Bowl? This is because the 13 minute halftime show acts as the biggest promotional stage for the performer who then reaps immensely in terms of increasing his popularity.

In addition, acc Japan-101, Rihanna made around $97,000 just from royalties from streaming on Spotify. Additionally, streaming for the pop icon’s music increased a whopping 640% following her Super Bowl performance. Given all of this, it’s not wrong to say that while stars don’t make direct money from the halftime show, it’s still worth giving it your all.
