Before Super Bowl LVII fades too far into the background (being an Eagles fan, it can’t fade fast enough for me), it’s worth flagging this great ASL performance of Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. Above, you can watch Justina Miles, a nursing student at HBCU Bowie State University, become “the first female deaf performer for the Super Bowl’s halftime show,” notes CNBC. Before this, Miles went viral when her ASL performance of Lil’ Kim’s “Crush on You” exploded on TikTok. As one commenter noted on YouTube, this may be the best Super Bowl performance since Prince.
