The set list for Rihanna’s stunning halftime show at the 2023 Super Bowl on Sunday (12 February) included the Grammy winner’s greatest hits.

After her first live performance in over five years, the singer’s fans stormed Twitter to congratulate Rihanna on an epic comeback – and gather around the water cooler to discuss whether she had confirmed her second pregnancy at the biggest night in American football.

A representative for the singer confirmed she is expecting her second child with boyfriend and rapper A$AP Rocky, but not before the speculation broke Twitter.
