Dancers wearing white ski-style suits and shaded goggles had their own suspended platforms that moved in concert with hers.There were also none of the constant costume changes and scene shifts from previous years.

The theme — and the colour scheme — stayed the same throughout the 13-minute show, with red lights bathing the stage at times and golden fireworks exploding in the air above her.Rocky was also present at the game and was seen dancing to Rihanna’s performance from the sidelines.In an earlier promotional interview for her Super Bowl performance, Rihanna told CBS’s Nate Burleson that she had a surprise planned for her halftime show.“I’m thinking of bringing someone. I’m not sure, but we’ll see,” she said.Rihanna was three months postpartum when she accepted the Super Bowl halftime show contract.

People working in immigration say newcomers often struggle to land meaningful jobs that are in line with their qualifications or previous work experience.“It boils down to the lack of Canadian experience (for many employers),” said Darrel Pinto, employment director at Jumpstart Refugee Talent, a refugee-led non-profit organization helping newcomers find relevant jobs.Newcomers often feel they get screened out of opportunities, he said.
