After an absence from the stage for over five years, Rihanna's return to the spotlight at the Super Bowl was eagerly anticipated. Speculations about guest stars, elaborate costume changes, and intricate choreography abound.
However, Rihanna opted for a solo act, exuding an untouchably cool demeanor on her elevated stage. Demonstrating her superhuman charisma, Rihanna delivered one hit after another, visibly pregnant but unabashedly showcasing her talent alongside a troupe of white-hooded dancers.
Meanwhile, the "Walk This Way" performance stands as one of the most eccentric three-minute displays ever broadcasted on television.
Britney Spears, adorned in silver football pants, assumed the role of the ready-to-play Missy Elliot, accompanied by Mary J. Blige's soulful vocals and Nelly's rap overlaying Joe Perry's guitar solo.
Additional Offerings
Apple Fitness+ is expanding its offerings with the introduction of sound meditations. The company emphasizes a minimalistic approach, providing "light guidance" from the trainer to allow users to immerse themselves in the tranquil sounds of singing bowls and the deep pitch of gongs.
TechCrunch reported that this new addition includes seven sound-themed meditations, released weekly, with options for five, 10, and 20-minute sessions.
Time to Walk, Apple's celebrity-guided audio walking series, is featuring Al Roker, the weather anchor and co-host of the Today Show. Roker shares insights into mentorship, including a pivotal conversation with his father.
