During Rihanna’s halftime show performance, she revealed her pregnancy bump with her second child! We were informed that there would be a special guest, and little did we know that it would be the famous singer's unborn child.
Fox Sports broadcasted the Superbowl on February 12 at 6:30 ET. The game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs was held at State Farm Stadium, and it did not disappoint. With a score of 38-35, Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs’ team took home the Vince Lombardi trophy.
Since her last appearance at the Grammys in 2018, Rihanna made a significant comeback by performing during the halftime show. After all, it’s been seven years since her last album, Anti.
For this performance, Rihanna rose to the top on a moving platform hitting everyone with a fan-favorite song “B**ch better have my money”. For the show, she was wearing a bright red Alai puffer coat over a red Loewe jumpsuit and glossy bustier, followed by her Maison Margiela x Salomon sneakers. Rihanna indicated her pregnancy by rubbing her stomach during the performance.
After the amazing start to the top football athletic event of the year, she continued with “Where Have You Been”, “Only Girl”, and "We Found Love”. Rihanna's halftime show was the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime show on record right behind Katy Perry’s Superbowl performance in 2016 according to Yahoo sports.
Mia Sanchez an 11th-grade student that attends Carson High school stated,
“I thought her performance was amazing especially because she was so high up and just had a baby,” said Carson High School junior Mia Sanchez. “She looked a little pregnant, but I didn’t want to comment. I was so happy when I found out she was. She looks pleased [with] her pregnancy.”
Rihanna concluded her fantastic performance with “Umbrella", the song that allowed her to earn her first grammy, and the mega-hit “Diamonds”. The jumbotron instructed the audience to turn their flashlights in order to make “diamonds” appear.
Overall, her 13-minute performance had the crowd going nuts and gave everyone exactly what they needed.
