WFL, Umbrella and Diamonds are going to be performed, the rest Im not sure what she'll include. 

Perhaps snippet of new song/music?

I agree with this. I think she should also perform Disturbia. It has really become one of her classics

all of these songs are 7x platinum + in the US

Her other massive hits as lead artist are Stay, Work, Needed Me, and This is What You Came For

Don't Stop the Music

Rude Boy (with elements of Pon de Replay)

Work

Only Girl (In The World)/Where Have You Been (medley)

New Song

We Found Love

[StrawberryBlond 14,613]

I think she'll stick to the biggest hits for sure. I'd say she should only do #1's to really make it a crowd pleaser, as Katy only did #1's but then, she only had 3 albums worth of material, so her choices were much easier. Rihanna's got a whopping 8 albums of hits, how do you cram all that in? And not just shortening it, how do you put enough in not to disappoint anyone?

With all that taken into account, this is how I think it should go:

(all of them shortened)

Intro: Only Girl In The World

Pon De Replay

Rude Boy

Umbrella (Jay Z guest star)

What's My Name? (Drake guest star)

Work (continuing Drake guest star)

S&M

Don't Stop The Music

We Found Love

Finale: Diamonds

 

I think Don't Stop The Music when the setlist is almost over would have a "one more time" effect and want the viewers to feel sad it's almost over and I can totally imagine a sea of white lights in the air when Diamonds finishes it all off. I know Eminem provided big hits for her but he was on this year's SB, he can't be a guest star again. I'd rather artists who've never had a chance to perform should get the chance here. And Rihanna's had so many hits with guest features, she deserves to have the closest thing to a solo show she can get considering how long she's been away.

I have NO IDEA how she could fit 13 songs into 7ish minutes (I think that’s how long they normally are?), but I just couldn’t slim down my list any further 😫

She have 13 minutes (all to herself since she isn’t co-headlining).  In that time Bruno did 5, Katy did 8, Coldplay did 7, Gaga did 7, Justin did 11, Maroon 5 did 9, and The Weekend did 9.  I would say 8ish is probably the best bet.
