  Let’s give it up for the woman of the hour!

  After announcing her return to the stage last year, Pop and R&B superstar Rihanna left fans open-mouthed as she headlined this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show in Phoenix, Arizona.

  Clad in an all-red jumpsuit, the 34-year-old singer opened the biggest showcase in music by singing ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ as she stood, with an evidently rounded belly, on a platform suspended in the air. She was gradually lowered to the ground as she went through a 12-song setlist from ‘Where Have You Been?’ to ‘Umbrella.’
  
  Rihanna was surrounded throughout the 13-minute performance by dozens of dancers in baggy white outfits.
  
  Her appearance led social media users to speculate she was expecting another child. Her representatives then confirmed that she is indeed pregnant with her second child.
  
  This was her first public performance since the 2018 Grammy Awards and her first since becoming a mother. In May 2022, she gave birth to her first child, a boy, with rapper A$AP Rocky.
  
  She ended her Super Bowl performance with ‘Diamonds’ as fireworks lit up the sky above the stadium.
