Many people were placing bets on what song Rhianna would sing first for the super bowl half time performance. Many sites took away the ability to bet on this because the set list was leaked.

I do not believe that her setlist was leaked. There are many sources using their headlines to make people believe they have the setlist, but once you fully read the article you can see they are simply listing songs she could play, not necessarily even predicting what she will do. It is usually a list of her most popular songs. That is what the source you list has done.

I do not think that her entire setlist was actually leaked, but according to this source a video of the Friday night rehearsal had been released prior to the performance. In the video the source could overhear songs like "Work" and "We Found Love" being practiced. In the article, it also states that Rihanna had changed the setlist around 39 times, so it is unlikely that the final version was leaked beforehand. Also considering the show was only thirteen minutes, it's likely to predict that she would only play her largest hits alongside using process of elimination with the leaked video to figure out the rest.

I could find no evidence that Rhianna's set list for the Super Bowl was leaked. While I found a viral Tik Tok that showed Rhianna rehearsing her hit song "Needed Me" at the stadium, many assumed that this song would be included in the halftime performance due to its popularity. In addition, Rhianna said she changed the setlist 39 different times, so the final setlist would have been difficult to leak.
