At the Super Bowl halftime show, Rihanna announces her pregnancy.

 

Rihanna revealed she is expecting her second child, nine months after welcoming a son with partner A$AP Rocky

 At the Super Bowl on Sunday, Rihanna performed an electrifying and hit-heavy halftime show. However, the singer revealed an unexpected special guest, which caused social media to explode. The Bajan singer was asked last week in an interview if her performance at Arizona's State Farm Stadium would include any surprises. She responded, "I'm thinking about bringing someone." "We'll see," "I'm not sure." Fans naturally assumed she was referring to one of the many artists she has worked with over the course of her illustrious career. In keeping with the tradition of surprise duets at halftime shows, it seemed likely that Jay-Z, Drake, or Eminem would perform as guests. But none of them were mentioned by Rihanna. She was, in fact, implying that she was expecting her second child, despite the fact that no one realized it at the time. The singer may have failed to debut any new music during her performance at Sunday's Super Bowl, but the baby bump she debuted instead almost broke the internet.

 Rihanna performs during the Super Bowl halftime show, according to Reuters Shortly after Rihanna's performance, her representatives confirmed that she was pregnant. Rihanna appeared on one of several floating platforms that soared high above the crowd while a swarm of energetic dancers, all dressed in white, gathered below. She was wearing a Loewe custom jumpsuit that was all red. The singer immediately launched into Better Have My Money, which was an ironic opener given that she was not compensated for her Super Bowl performance. Her dancers, aged 34, performed below her at breakneck speed in a display of razor-sharp choreography that they would maintain throughout the entire performance as the 34-year-old wowed the audience from above. The singer performed a number of well-known songs, beginning her set with some of her most upbeat and danceable songs, such as Only Girl (In The World) and the excellent Where Have You Been. Even after she was brought to a stop, the halftime show was full of spectacle. Fireworks were let off above the stadium as she launched into the euphoric We Found Love.

 The star's decision to rely on her extensive back catalog, which is one of the strongest in pop, was a sensible one, despite the fact that rumors that the star might take advantage of the opportunity to perform new music did not come true. The singer only performed the first verse or chorus of some songs, but she packed a lot of hits into a short 14 minutes. But monster hits such as Rude Boy were balanced with the somewhat harder-edged and lesser-known Pour It Up.

 Somewhat disappointingly, the set list took advantage of some of her best-known collaborations - without any of her collaborators actually joining her on stage.

 There were no appearances from Jay-Z, Ye (formerly Kanye West), or DJ Khaled during her performances of Run This Town, All of the Lights, or Wild Thoughts, which typically appear on those songs. However, their absence had no bearing. At this point, a completely different and very visible special guest had everyone's attention. 2px gray presentational line Which songs did Rihanna perform?
