Rihanna Gave An Unforgettable Super Bowl Performance. Here Are Some Of Twitter's Best Reactions
In case you somehow missed it, Rihanna performed at Sunday's Super Bowl LVII, and it was memorable for more reasons than one — like, has anyone else ever done a pregnancy reveal during the halftime show?
The star's first live performance in four years had everybody talking (and tweeting), so: from her unexpected baby bump to the worryingly precarious stage she managed to stay upright on, here are Twitter's best reactions to Rihanna doing what she does best (making people on the internet lose their minds).
Reacting to Rihanna being Rihanna:

Rihanna really just “okay I guess I’ll just play my little songs for y’all because you seem to like that” the #SuperBowl halftime show.

No guests. No stunts. Minimal choreography. Sublime self possession. Incredible.
Rihanna is literally a billionaire from selling panties and face paint. Y’all thought she was going to come out doing cartwheels with a baby…this is her extra-curricular activity now.

"the kubrick stare" is one of director stanley kubrick's most recognizable directorial techniques. a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that they are at the peak of their derangement pic.twitter.com/w6Wuw6VOvt
