In addition, all of her dancers wore items from Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty line, and afterwards, the company even sent out a mass text to all of its subscribers encouraging them to purchase all the ‘looks inspired by the performance’.

Companies pay millions of dollars for a chance to promote their products during the highly-anticipated football game , it can cost between $6 million and $7 million for just a 30-second ad slot – but Rihanna didn’t need to pay for a commercial.

She certainly took advantage of the millions who tuned in to watch her sing, and the brilliant marketing ploy isn’t out of the ordinary for billionaire Rihanna.
