Rihanna plans to pay homage to her Caribbean heritage at the Super Bowl.

The 34-year-old singer will perform the much-anticipated halftime show at this yearโ€™s Super Bowl, and Rihanna is determined to pay homage to her roots.

The award-winning star โ€“ who was born and raised in Barbados โ€“ told Apple Music: โ€œRepresenting for immigrants, representing for my country, Barbados, representing for black women everywhere. Thatโ€™s really important, thatโ€™s key for people to see the possibilities. And Iโ€™m honoured to be here, and Iโ€™m honoured to be doing this, this year.โ€

Rihanna has been constantly tinkering with her setlist over recent weeks, and sheโ€™s determined to deliver a memorable performance.

She said: โ€œEvery little change counts, whether I want like a guitar cut out, something muted, something added, or just put in a whole new song, or take out a whole song.

โ€œEvery time I make a change, something has to be updated and thatโ€™s a new version.โ€

Meanwhile, Rihanna previously revealed that her baby boy inspired her to perform at the Super Bowl.

The singer โ€“ who gave birth to her son in May โ€“ admitted that motherhood has changed her outlook on life.

She shared: โ€œI feel like it was now or never, really. Thereโ€™s this weird s*** that happens when you become a mom, that you just unleash or unlock other parts of your superpower, you feel like you can take on or you could do anything.

โ€œI wanted to take on the challenge and I wanted to do something that would force me to get back onstage.โ€

Rihanna also confessed to relishing the challenge of motherhood.

She said: โ€œIt is crazy. It is amazing. Itโ€™s wild. Itโ€™s weird. Itโ€™s all of those things, all at once. The best feeling. The most love Iโ€™ve ever known.

โ€œI canโ€™t describe it. Itโ€™s new. Itโ€™s fascinating. Every step, every facial expression, every new milestone. I love it.โ€
