RIHANNA blew the audience away with her first performance in seven years at Super Bowl LVII.

Some viewers suspected the singer is pregnant again after spotting clues during her set, and the baby news was later confirmed by her rep.

Rihanna, 34, took to the stage at State Farm stadium for the LVII Super Bowl Halftime show wearing a figure-hugging red flight suit.

Underneath, she covered her stomach in a matching top with a latex bust.

Throughout the 17-minute set, the mom-of-one stormed through her best-known hits - but did very little dancing.

She instead rubbed her stomach, grabbed her butt and even did hip thrusts.

Some viewers thought they could spot a bump on the singer, who welcomed her first baby last year with A$AP Rocky.

"Sorry but Rihanna look REAL PREGNANT!" wrote one on Twitter.

"Is Rihanna pregnant?" asked another. "Interesting costume choice if not."

"So we all think is Rihanna pregnant again, right?" chimed in a third.

A fourth wrote: "Was the surprise 'guest' the belly?" referring to the performance's lack of special guests.

PREGNANT AGAIN ASAP

Rihanna welcomed her first child, a boy whose name is unknown, with fellow music star A$AP, 34, in May 2022.

While the songstress has become renowned for her revealing outfits, even when pregnant the first time, she decided to cover up for tonight's momentous performance.

Her set at the Super Bowl, which included hits Diamonds, Umbrella and Rude Boy, was her first performance in seven years.

Her baby daddy was seen watching on the field and filming his fiancée on his phone.

SUBTLE CLUE?

Before the Halftime show, Rihanna appeared to drop a sly hint that she would not be alone on stage.

"I'm thinking about bringing someone. I'm not sure, we'll see,'" she said to CBS' Nate Burleson.

SUPER MOM

In a press conference earlier this week, Rihanna told fans that she was feeling empowered by being a mom.

"When you're a mom you feel like you can do anything," she told Michael Strahan.

"As scary as it is because I haven't been on stage for seven years, there's something exhilarating about it all.”

While she has taken a back seat from music in recent years and focussed on her lingerie line Savage X Fenty, Rihanna previously said she wouldn't be leaving her newborn son for anything other than a mega performance.
