Rihanna admitted that she forgot her own birthday because she was so preoccupied with her Super Bowl halftime show rehearsals.

The Diamonds singer expressed her openness to “exploring, finding, and producing” new music during a Super Bowl press conference with Apple Music.

Before adding that she merely wants to “have fun” with the music, the singer claimed that her fans might find the tracks “strange” in comparison to her earlier works.

“Musically, I’m feeling open. I’m feeling open to exploring, discovering, creating things that are new, things that are different, off, weird, might not ever make sense to my fans,” Rihanna said.

“I just want to play, I want to have fun with the music,” she added.

At one point during the interview, Rihanna revealed that she has been so focused on her performance that “I forgot my birthday is coming up!”

“It’s a lot of preparation,” she continued. “To go on the biggest stage in seven years, there’s something thrilling about the challenge of it all.”

“It’s important for the representation and it’s important for my son to see that.”
