Several other music-related shows were nominated along with the Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show for the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. For the Outstanding Variety Special category, Rihanna’s performance (Fox) competes with the Tonys (CBS), the Oscars (ABC), Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium (Disney+), and Chris Rock: Selective Outrage (Netflix).

Meanwhile, not only does this mark the “Umbrella” singer’s first Primetime Emmy nomination, but also for Elton John. However, if John wins, he will become an EGOT icon. The highly anticipated awards ceremony will take place on Monday, September 18.

‘Rude Boy’ Vocalist’s Super Bowl Performance Gets Most-Watched Second Halftime Show
Rihanna’s performance at the 75th Super Bowl is no stranger to achieving incredible ratings. Just days after the Barbadian beauty took a deep breath on stage, it was confirmed that her performance averaged 118.7 million viewers, 5.7 million more than the 113 million who watched the playoffs.
As a result, it was the second most-watched Super Bowl Halftime performance since Katy Perry’s record of 114.4 million viewers in 2015. Additionally, audience ratings imply that the 35-year-old’s performance earned a 15% increase from the average of 103.4 million who watched the Halftime show 2022 featuring Dr. Dr.
Of Fox’s 113 million viewers, an estimated 106 million watch the main telecast on the network and the Spanish-language feed on Fox Deportes, with the rest watching on NFL and Fox digital platforms. Those ratings made Super Bowl LVII the third-biggest TV program ever.
Despite the achievements of the pregnant celebrity, her performance was slammed by several critics, about 103, who complained to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The complaint alleges that the “Diamonds” singer’s music and choreography are “highly sexual and inappropriate for young audiences.”
