Rihanna’s highly anticipated Super Bowl Halftime Show just went down. And while just ahead of those 13 minutes of pure excellence you might have cared about how the setlist changed 39 times, or were concerned about winning that bet you made to guess what her opening song will be, the only thing that matters now — is that RiRi is back.

After months of anticipation, “This Is What You Came For!”
From opening with “Bitch Better Have My Money” and “Where Have You Been” to closing with “Umbrella” and “Diamonds,” our jaws were dropped from start to finish.
After descending down from the heavens top of State Farm Stadium on a floating stage for her first public performance in five years, Rihanna went on to bless us with a little tease of “Cockiness,” before getting into “Only Girl (In The World)," and “We Found Love,” all whilst surrounded by a sea of dancers in white puffers slaying every count of Parris Goebel's choreography.
Then came “Rude Boy,” “Work,” and “Wild Thoughts,” before a little touch up from a Fenty Beauty compact and right into “All Of The Lights" and "Run This Town." RiRi really did the Navy proud, not that there was every any doubt otherwise.
Okay, now let's talk about the look — With her face beat to the gods and slicked back hair except for those two very trendy front pieces. Rihanna wore a red jumpsuit, zipped all the way down that not only exposed a red bodysuit and shiny red bustier underneath, but also incited some internet speculation that she's pregnant with baby No. 2 due to the silhouette. A speculation that has officially been confirmed by Entertainment Tonight.
