Well, I'm really happy for her. Congrats. Her belly did looked bigger, but I didn't think she would have another one so soon! 🤣

Fun performance with some bold song choices (Kanye...in 2023?!) Congrats on baby #2!

Pros: She is undoubtedly the biggest hitmaker of all time. That catalog is absolutely nuts. Let it be clear, this is subjective. ![](https://media.tenor.com/ddzj5yJRpTUAAAAC/i-said-what-i-said-nene-leakes.gif)

Absolutely her catalog is unmatched. That entire set list charted #1 somewhere.

Probably unpopular opinion but that was not good on so many levels. Definitely was her retirement concert. You gotta give her props though that she probably DGAF and we should be thankful that we got to live during a time of Rihanna, her catalog is amazing and we'll always have that.

She looked beautiful. What an iconic way to announce your pregnancy, and amazing that nobody leaked it. The production was gorgeous. Set list was great, they worked in a few songs I didn’t expect (but thrilled to hear).
Still bummed AF about no new music. Even if you do not want to do an album or tour, feed the kids a cookie every now and then with a single or feature. We’re starved.

I just think for her to be pregnant AND not even have new music ready it was a completely wasted slot and should've just been done another year.

Pros: She is undoubtedly the biggest hitmaker of all time. That catalog is absolutely nuts. The stage and dancers were probably the best I’ve seen at the SB. Definitely top 2. Cons: Rihanna 💀😭. Girl just wanted to be at home with her baby and testing out new makeup swatches. I get it, and will stop asking for a new album. The actual ground stage was garbage. The only production value was the movable platforms.

imagine waiting 7 years for new music, and getting a Marvel lullaby, a half-assed halftime show, and a pregnancy announcement which shuts down the "she's announcing a tour" rumors instead...
well you don't have to imagine.
Rihanna Navy in the trenches right now. tragic.

I have a feeling she probably signed up with no backing out right before she found out she was pregnant again.

Oh my god! My friend was like so Rihanna had her dancers dressed like sperm, and that is all I can think now with the pregnancy announcement 😂.

I enjoyed the halftime show. It wasn’t as good as other female halftime shows of the past decade, but it was still good.
First off, iconic discography and it was a surprise to see her perform BBHMM, PIU, and AOTL. I would’ve preferred WFL as the closer but Diamonds was still good.
I have to agree with other posters that the show had pretty low energy which was kinda disappointing. No wardrobe change, no major set change. But now that we know she’s pregnant again (CONGRATS!!), it’s understandable.
On that last note, we are definitely not getting a tour this year and I’m pretty sure we’re not getting an album this year either. It’s obvious that Rihanna doesn’t care much about music anymore. Honestly, this just felt like a bucket list item checked off for her.

It was fine. Press and public reaction have all been positive, so no damage done...
But obviously a pregnancy reveal was not what fans were waiting for. Oh well.

The only song I think she shouldn’t have done was bitch better have my money. Weird choice to open with. Should’ve opened with What’s My Name. Maybe left out Wild Thoughts too!

I have only seen press and comments about her pregnancy, not about the performance itself... 🤷🏽♂️

I mean, who wants to rag on a pregnant woman? It was what it was. Exactly. All the major outlets talk about Rihanna 'soaring''glowing' etc. They talk about the visuals and the hit-laden set list, but zero commentary on her singing, vocals, etc. She certainly could've backed out if she wanted to - imagine the NFL forcing a pregnant Black woman to perform for them! It wasn't even close to what I'd hoped for, but I'm truly happy for her expanding family.

Let's face it, these half-time performances are just already very successful artists exhibiting their hits. Only the "stans" fight about the actual performances, to the general public, they're all pretty much the same. People are just happy to see famous pop stars on TV singing songs they know. M5's snoozefest of a set also got mostly positive press coverage...

I just watched the performance on YouTube. Rihanna isn't an artist who's been lauded for her performing abilities over the years but I thought she did a good enough job here. I don't think it's a performance I'll rih-watch much just because of the low energy vibe throughout.
