As one would expect, Rihanna was in a VIP suite to take in the big game.

Rihanna has attended a number of sports events over the years including NBA games and other football matchups. The singer isn’t married just yet as she’s still dating Saudi Arabian businessman Hassan Jameel, so most likely many athletes will continue to “shoot their shot” in attempts to impress the singer.
