Her last studio album, Anti, in 2016, marked the beginning of an almost seven-year hiatus from music, which was broken last year with the release of her song Lift Me Up.

All the Highlights From Rihanna's Epic 2023 Super Bowl Halftime ... (TIME)

From her pregnancy reveal to her set list, here's what you need to know about Rihanna's halftime show performance for the 2023 Super Bowl.

Neither of those happened, but the Super Bowl Halftime Show marked her long-awaited return to music, and now the world waits to see what happens next. [historic game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs](https://time.com/6254557/super-bowl-2023-black-quarterbacks-mahomes-hurts/) was settled, the true winner of Super Bowl LVII was [Rihanna](https://time.com/6251429/rihanna-fashion-best-moments/), who made her triumphant return to [live performance](https://time.com/6250929/best-rihanna-performances-super-bowl/) on the biggest of stages: the Halftime Show. As fans took in her performance, much of the conversation focused, as it so often does in our gossip-centric culture, on her postpartum body. Her long-awaited show had been hyped for months leading up to tonight’s musical comeback, and fans were satisfied with the results. While it’s become customary for most Halftime headliners to feature special guests during their shows, Rihanna broke with tradition and was the sole performer during the performance, relying instead on the impeccable talents of her dozens of backup dancers, who wined, body-rolled, and dropped it low. While her epic performance more than delivered the show-stopping celebration of her many hits that [her fans had anticipated](https://time.com/6253747/rihanna-super-bowl-halftime-show-predictions/), it was also filled with plenty of surprises—including choreography from her frequent collaborator Parris Goebel, a cheeky Fenty product placement, and a well-placed belly rub that set the Internet ablaze with pregnancy speculations, as well as criticism that so much focus shifted from her musical return to the status of her postpartum body. Rihanna’s look consisted of a striking red bodysuit with a matching red patent breastplate from Loewe, worn under a jumpsuit in the same bright shade. For one thing, prolifically: immediately after the performance, Twitter would not load tweets for a couple of minutes. Her electrifying performance signaled that even though it’s been seven years since we’ve had a new album from Rihanna, the bad gal can still bring it when it comes to putting on a show. During the show, the word “pregnant” began trending on Twitter, with viewers reading into a belly rub she did while singing the lyric “life inside” and a quote she gave during a pre-show interview in which she said, “I’m thinking about bringing someone.” Others criticized the speculation and the mass effort to investigate a woman’s reproductive status, saying that the moment should be about her return to music and what this means for her career, not about her body. The sporty, futuristic look was complemented by white Hazmat suit-esque costumes her backup dancers wore, paired with reflective sunglasses and mesh undershirts. “I’m three months postpartum, like, should I be making major decisions like this now?’ Like, ‘I might regret this,’” she said.

Rihanna performed hits like Umbrella, Only Girl, and We Found Love at Super Bowl LVII — all with a baby bump.

And then just like she entered the stadium, she planted herself on one of those death-defying platforms and ascended high above the field, powering through “ [Umbrella](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvBfHwUxHIk)” and “ [Diamonds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWA2pjMjpBs),” two of the biggest singles of her career. [Rude Boy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82VE8UtW8A),” “ [Work](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL1UzIK-flA),” and “ [Pour It Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehcVomMexkY).” With the cameras up close, she cracked a wry smile here and flashed a squint there. [All of the Lights](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAfFfqiYLp0)” and “ [Run This Town](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztygmWtWCjQ),” solo, deigning to bring on collaborators Jay-Z and [Kanye West](https://www.vox.com/culture/23398795/kanye-west-ye-antisemitic-bigot-white-lives-matter-tucker-carlson-art-vs-artist) for what would have been quintessential Super Bowl cameos. As she transitioned to her final set of songs, one of the dancers handed her what seemed to be a Fenty compact (internet sleuths deduced it was her brand’s $34 [blotting powder](https://www.sephora.com/product/invisimatte-blotting-powder-P39784685)) and the makeup entrepreneur dusted her nose and undereyes. The dancers cleared. [ Rihanna’s reps confirmed she is pregnant](https://twitter.com/rollingstone/status/1624958333462405131?s=46&t=VdU_G3Di9GbVdPqTnB7N1A) with her second child after a speculative social media frenzy ( [that belly rub](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/amberjamieson/rihanna-pregnant-super-bowl-half-time-show) did mean something!). The direction and camera work were on point, with wide shots capturing the scale and grandeur of the floating stages. She is a hitmaker; it’s about the sound. This year, multiple platforms were suspended and lowered, lifted, and lowered again and again in synchronization with her run of songs; the set looked like a giant audio equalizer. Her voice is an engine that can take any song in any genre to the top of the charts. The next single, the next makeup drop, the next outfit: Rihanna is one of the few humans in this overexposed, over-curated world that people simply cannot get enough of. Rihanna doesn’t need more money, but whatever Rihanna wants, she gets, with millions of fans cheering her on.

Rihanna reveals pregnancy at Super Bowl half-time show (BBC News)

The singer surprised fans as she delivered a hit-heavy performance at the half-time show.

Fans of Rihanna admit the singer doesn't necessarily have the best voice in music. And surely everybody can all be grateful that her set wasn't dragged down by her most recent release - Lift Me Up from the soundtrack to Marvel's Wakanda Forever. In the late noughties and early 2010s, she churned out chart-toppers faster than the industry's top songwriters could compose them. But monster hits such as Rude Boy were balanced with the somewhat harder-edged and lesser-known Pour It Up. Model Cara Delevingne was among the attendees sporting one on Sunday. I couldn't be an enabler," she said at the time. Instead, Rihanna deployed some her biggest hits as she hurtled towards the end of her set, climaxing with her ode to British weather, Umbrella, and the rousing, anthemic Diamonds. But what has set Rihanna apart from some of her peers is the sheer number of hits she has to her name. Weird but whatever." "I just couldn't be a sellout. [her representatives confirmed](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/rihanna-pregnant-rep-confirms-super-bowl-halftime-show-1235323383/) the singer was indeed pregnant with her second child. The singer rattled through several of her most recognisable hits, front-loading her set with some of her most danceable and up-tempo numbers including Only Girl (In The World) and the excellent Where Have You Been.

And for Rihanna, playing halftime is a milestone befitting the scope of her achievements. Rihanna — one of the crucial pop hitmakers of the 21st century — needs the Super Bowl less than the Super Bowl needs her, and her performance was a master class in doing exactly enough. So in its marketing, the Super Bowl amplified how it was a coup to land her most visible effort in years. But the involvement of The event was the event. There was little variation in tone or energy, no aesthetic nods to the lightly themed set list. But for Rihanna, who [last year gave birth to her first child](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/07/style/rihanna-pregnancy-fashion.html), it was a stroke of performance savvy nonetheless — maybe the only gesture that could outshine, and reframe, the show she had just given. And she had not performed a show of this scale since 2016. Rihanna’s hits are plentiful — she has charted more than 60 times on the Billboard Hot 100 — and they are varied. During “Work,” she led them as if she were a tutor calling out moves but not participating in them. In 13 minutes, Rihanna casually performed snippets of 12 hits, universally known songs that don’t require much in the way of fluffing or bombast. She followed that song immediately with “Run This Town,” another collaboration with Ye (and Jay-Z).

Rihanna's Big Red Pregnancy Reveal (The New York Times)

She's pregnant and once again setting the rules for maternity fashion.

(Alaïa had a very good Super Bowl; Rihanna also wore a crocodile print skirt and a shearling leather jacket from the brand for her pregame news conference.) The calculation is that the potential payoff is worth the risk. (Also, yes, Valentine’s Day, but she generally thinks more globally than a Hallmark moment.)

Even Oscar nominees don’t have quite so many brands willing to gamble on the chance that a celebrity’s favor will fall on them. [Rihanna’s style](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/07/style/rihanna-pregnancy-fashion.html) was largely defined by what she didn’t wear (anything that obscured her bump), in State Farm Stadium she was almost entirely covered up.

Commenting on her promotion, one fan tweeted: "Rihanna pulling out the Fenty to do a little make up touch up was the chef's kiss." Rihanna even cleverly promoted her Fenty Beauty range during the halftime show as she touched up her makeup with her own products while performing All of the Lights on stage. I'm not sure. Adele, 34, used the Super Bowl as a date night with her boyfriend Rich Paul and ended the night in comfort, slipping out of the arena and walking to her car while barefoot. Ahead of Sunday's big game, the Savage x Fenty founder released a 17-piece Super Bowl-inspired collection, which included a T-shirt reading: "Rihanna concert interrupted by a football game, weird but whatever".

Rihanna's Super Bowl show: Is your wan pregnant again? Millions ... (The Irish Times)

Rihanna is suspended on a moving light-up platform at a height I can only measure as 'too bloody high to be up at with that tiny tether for safety'

The opening bars of We Found Love bring all us millennials back to a simpler time of dancing in regional nightclubs, the taste of Fat Frogs in the back of our throats.

[ Rihanna will do at Super Bowl LVII](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjBo--1n8lI&ab_channel=NFL), as the last time she performed in public was in 2018. Her songs remind us of a genre-spanning back catalogue of floor fillers. I was on the left.” (Maybe I’m just protective of Rihanna because I think we have an affinity as two women who were named as a result of a misheard Fleetwood Mac lyric. Rihanna’s rep confirms afterwards that there is indeed a child, and not just a large pasta lunch, in her slightly rounded belly. She launches into Bitch Better Have My Money, which is ironic, as the NFL doesn’t pay Super Bowl performers. One is that gridiron is such a stop-start game that it’s annoying to watch.
