This year’s Super Bowl was one for the books, and Rihanna found a way to make it extra memorable. She knocked us off our feet with a medley of her biggest hits and announced she was pregnant with her second child during her spectacular halftime show.

Rihanna hit the stage in a ravishing red Loewe ensemble, which showed off her baby bump, and kicked off the halftime show with the hit song “B—h Better Have My Money”. Things only got better from there, and she managed to fit some of her biggest hits into a 13-minute performance.

Rihanna previously revealed that choosing the setlist was the most challenging part of her halftime show performance, and she came up with 39 different versions. She eventually settled for 12 songs, including “Only Girl in the World”, “We Found Love”, “Rude Boy”, and “Work” before closing the show with “Umbrella” and “Diamonds”.

Despite speculations she would bring Drake or Jay-Z out, Rihanna decided to deliver a thrilling solo performance, and her pregnancy reveal was the night’s biggest surprise. This marked her first live concert in five years, since the 2018 Grammys, and she showed the world she’s still on top of her game.

Super Bowl LVII was held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on February 12, and the Kansas City Chiefs managed to win their second title in four years.
