Rihanna teased her pregnancy before Super Bowl halftime show and we all missed it

It appears that Rihanna was teasing her now-confirmed pregnancy before her Super Bowl 57 halftime show, and we all missed it.

Rihanna showed up, put on a stunning show, revealed she was pregnant with her second child, and left. Oh, you know, just a normal day in the life of a Tier 1 pop star.

The performance was one thing, but the fact that Rihanna did it without any co-stars made it even more incredible. The performance was all her and her dancers. Given the breadth of Rihanna’s catalog — from T.I. to Drake to Elton John — she could have easily partitioned the pressure of her performance to others, but she did it all on her own.

Well, sorta. It was revealed that Rihanna is pregnant with her second child in a report from The Hollywood Reporter, something Twitter sleuths had a feeling about during the performance itself.

While that comes as a bit of a shock to some, she did actually tease it prior to her performance.

Rihanna hinted at a ‘special guest’ for haltime show before halftime show

When she was asked before the performance if she was bringing any co-stars, here’s what she said:

Of course, we know she didn’t actually bring anyone as a performer. And given that these massive performances take loads of time to coordinate, she likely would have known for sure if she planned on having any guest performers in her performance. A last-minute substitute probably isn’t feasible for a Super Bowl halftime show with multiple stages floating several stories off the ground.

It seems as if this was a clever hint at the big news that we got on Sunday night.

Congrats, Rihanna.
