Rihanna didn’t introduce a new song during her Super Bowl LVII halftime show on Apple Music on Sunday night, but she did get pregnant.
Her rep has confirmed to CNN that the entertainer performed a medley of her biggest hits while apparently pregnant with her second child.
Online pregnancy speculation began when Rihanna opened her show in Glendale, Arizona, appearing to show off a baby bump in an all-red outfit on a floating stage .
Last May, Rihanna welcomed her first child with rapper A$AP Rocky.
The singer opened up about motherhood in an interview as she prepared for the halftime show, saying being a mother made her feel like she could do anything.
“When you become a mother, something happens that makes you feel like you can challenge the world,” said the music icon and entrepreneur.
“The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world, and as scary as it is — because I haven’t been on stage in seven years — it’s exhilarating to challenge everything,” said Rihanna, whose most recent tour was at 2016. “It’s important to me to do this this year. It’s important for representation. It’s important for my son to see that.”
The pregnancy didn’t seem to be slowing Rihanna down during a show break between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. Surrounded by dancers in white, she danced and sang some of her most famous songs. She opened with “B**ch Better Have My Money” before moving on to other entries on her long list, including “We Found Love,” “Rude Boy,” “Work,” “Only Girl” (on in the world)” and “umbrella”.
