The Super Bowl is undoubtedly one of the highly anticipated events of all year. Even bigger than the Super Bowl, perhaps, is the half-time performance. While it has angered people in the past, most of the time the audience enjoys the performance like any other concert. Viewers of the sports, including players of other sports who are fans of the spectacle, indulge in predicting the songs of the halftime show. The person who guesses the songs correctly gets bragging rights. The American rising star, Coco Gauff is the person who earned those rights recently.
Coco Gauff shows off her predicting prowess
The three time WTA Tour singles champion uploaded a post on her Instagram story about Rihanna’s performance in the Super Bowl halftime show. As soon as Rihanna was announced as the performer for the half-time show, fans’ expectations rose to an all-time high. Like any other fan, Coco Gauff was excited as well. According to Gauff’s video before the Super Bowl on Sunday, Rihanna would open with the song “B**ch Better Have My Money” and then lead into “Please Don’t Stop The Music”.

In a TikTok video, Guaff shared her excitement with almost correctly guessing the half-time show. She said that even though she didn’t predict all the songs, she would accept 50% of the credit since Rihanna has a vast variety of songs.
“Okay y’all I was almost there, like, I didn’t get the whole, you know, the whole 100%. But 50%, Imma take it, Imma take it. Because Rihanna’s catalogue is crazy. Her catalogue is crazy and the fact that I guessed… I kinda guessed half of it, big brain,” she said in the video she shared.
