Rihanna’s Super Bowl Reveal & More Music Stars’ Pregnant Performances

After Rihanna took the stage at the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show with what looked like a baby bump under her curve-hugging red outfit, her reps confirmed that the superstar is in fact pregnant with her and A$AP Rocky’s second child.

The star hinted in a pre-game interview with Nate Burleson that she had a surprise in store for fans, but she didn’t end up singing any new songs or bringing out any musical guests to the Super Bowl halftime show stage — proving that the big surprise was her pregnancy.

But RiRi’s bump reveal is hardly the first time a musician has taken an onstage opportunity to announce that she’s expecting, as stars like Beyoncé, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez and more have all made their pregnancy announcements while performing.

Other artists, who didn’t announce their pregnancies onstage, showed off the power of women with their bumps on full display during major performances at awards shows, festivals and more.
