When sports enthusiasts were busy making their Super Bowl Sunday predictions before the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Philadelphia Eagles, tennis star Coco Gauff also made a bold prediction.
World No. 6 Coco Gauff also had a big-game forecast, but it has no connection with the on-field action. Her prediction was about Rihanna, who was set to perform the halftime show at the event.
The American player posted her ideal setlist on TikTok before, along with her personal vocal covers of the singer's best hits.
"The first sound or lyric we're going to hear is from "B... Better Have My Money," Gauff said, naming two of Rihanna's hits. "I do believe the first song will be "Please Don't Stop The Music," she predicted.
She even predicted the openings, "It's going to happen like this: It's going to be pitch black and silent, and all we're going to hear is, "Don't act like you forgot. We haven't seen Rihanna sing for so long, so that's what it will be."
"That's what will happen, I'm telling you all," said Gauff. "I'll definitely delete this video if I turn out to be incorrect, but I won't." You better run me my money like Rihanna said when I'm right." She said later.
However, after the singer performed, Gauff was elated that some of her predictions had partially come true. She tweeted later, "Rihanna coming out to 'B' better have my money "don’t act like you forgot" lyric and then maybe please don’t stop the music. "You heard it here first."
Tennis coach Rennae Stubbs also had a funny exchange of words with Gauff on Twitter as her prediction of Rihanna starting her performance tonight with "B** better have my money" also came true. Rennae tweeted, "Woot woot! @CocoGauff we have to collab some more."
