Rihanna did the Super Bowl halftime show from a platform in the air
On Sunday, Rihanna, dressed in all red and showing off her baby bump, got the crowd going by performing some of her most popular songs. These included B-tch Better Have My Money, Where Have You Been, Rude Boy, Umbrella, All the Lights, and Only Girl (In The World).
Rihanna began her performance atop a floating platform high above the field and ended it by performing on a stage that ran almost the entire length of the field. Her dancers, who performed alongside her in white, voluminous space suits, looked fantastic throughout the entire show. It appeared that, at the outset of her performance, she rubbed her stomach.
