Pregnant Rihanna performs stunning Super Bowl half time show
content.jwplatform.com
Super Bowl 57 is in the books following a dramatic game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles and a headline-making half-time show by Rihanna and of course, the internet couldn't resist a barrage of memes about the evening.
On the night, it was the Chiefs and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes who took home the glory winning the contest by 38 points to 35 in a truly thrilling encounter to win their second Super Bowl in four years, all with Mahomes limping on an injured ankle.
As is often the case with the Super Bowl, it's rarely the game that has everyone talking as Rihanna stole the show with an iconic half-time performance at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The 34-year-old singer from Barbados used the concert, which included some of her greatest hits such as Diamonds”, “Only Girl in the World” and “B**** Better Have My Money," to reveal to the world that she is pregnant with her second child.
