Did Rihanna Scratch & Sniff During Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Rihanna fans can’t stop talking about her Super Bowl Halftime Show. It was her highly-anticipated return to the stage. Fans thought she was going to drop a new album or announce an upcoming tour. However, she subtly announced that she was pregnant with her second child.

Millions are still watching the amazing performance. Some fans have noticed the little sly moves she made during the 14-minute show. Others accused her of scratching and sniffing in the middle of her performance. Keep on reading to learn more and see for yourself.

Confirms her second pregnancy

A representative for the pop star confirmed she’s expecting her second child following her buzzworthy Super Bowl Halftime performance. Fans wondered if Rihanna was pregnant again. They didn’t want to speculate since she never shared this news before Sunday night. Per The Hollywood Reporter, her rep confirmed that she was pregnant.

It could be the reason why the Halftime Show was more low-effort than usual. Rihanna was never known for her dancing abilities. However, some fans were expecting something like her performance at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. They slammed her “mediocre” and “boring” Super Bowl Halftime Show.

What’s also interesting is that she didn’t have any musical guests. Rihanna commanded the floating stages on her own. She performed a medley of her hits and had millions of people on their feet. She sang her hit songs live like “Where Have You Been,” “Diamonds,” “Work,” and “We Found Love.”

Rihanna and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky are already parents to their nine-month-old son. They still haven’t announced their baby boy’s name. Prior to her Super Bowl performance, Rihanna explained why she chose to perform on the biggest night. The reason was that motherhood was the inspiration behind her decision.

“I was like, ‘You sure?’ I’m three months postpartum. Should I be making major decisions like this right now? I might regret this,” Rihanna explained. “When you become a mom, there’s something that just happens where you feel like you could take on the world — you can do anything.”
