Rih Rih knew her “Navy” wanted to hear all the jams and she delivered, “We Found Love,” “Where Have You Been,” “Diamonds” and “Work,” according to the outlet. And she caressed her belly a bit, setting off social media on Sunday.
During an interview that took place ahead of her performance, Rihanna revealed her reservations about performing to The Hollywood Reporter.
“I was like, ‘You sure? I’m three months postpartum. Should I be making major decisions like this right now? I might regret this,’” she said.
“When you become a mom, there’s something that just happens where you feel like you could take on the world—you can do anything,” she added. “And the Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world, so as scary as that was…there’s something exhilarating about the challenge of it all. It’s important for my son to see that.”
Beyond the pregnancy speculation, Rihanna’s set had plenty of highlights. Although there were no other special guests onstage helping her to perform, she had one viral moment where she touched up her makeup mid-song, giving some nice promotion to her Fenty makeup brand.
Also, the moving platforms she performed on gave her a sky-high perch at the game, stressing out fans as she rose higher and higher. With an army of dancers, wild outfits, and a spectacular fireworks finish, it was a triumphant return to performing after Rihanna’s five-year performance hiatus.
“When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, ‘There’s no way I’m going to go shopping in no maternity aisle,’” she said. “I’m sorry—it’s too much fun to get dressed up. I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing,” Rihanna said to Vogue.
