The annual Super Bowl halftime show was once again a must-see happening on Sunday evening, with Rihanna giving an unforgettable performance that included a post-show announcement from the singer that she’s pregnant with her second child.
As Chris Richards of the Washington Post notes:
The music felt just as plush, just as precise, with Rihanna effortlessly snapping a dozen hits together like so much Lego brick — a piquant “Rude Boy,” then a pillowy “Work,” then a serpentine “Wild Thoughts,” and on and on it went. As a vocalist, her biggest notes weren’t the highest ones so much as the broadest ones — the kind that make her most familiar hooks feel so casually capacious. But with the proceedings verging on colossal by the time she reached the regal fanfare of “All of the Lights,” she chose to tamp down the pomp by pretending to check her makeup in a compact mirror. Has anyone made a Super Bowl halftime show look this good while making it look this easy?
However, disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump was not impressed, which isn’t the least bit surprising when you consider that Rihanna dismissed him and his brain-dead supporters a couple of years ago.
In 2020, Rihanna visited the famed Cadillac Ranch roadside attraction in Texas, and posted a series of photos of her spraying a half-buried car with the words, ‘F*** Trump,’ captioning the picture “art.”
As you’d expect, the failed ex-president couldn’t resist commenting on Rihanna’s performance, taking to his failing Truth Social site and posting:
“EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history — This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language. Also, so much for her ‘Stylist!'”
Fragile Donnie’s post drew plenty of fire on Twitter.
