Rihanna’s risqué Super Bowl show! Singer grabs her crotch and butt before smelling her hand

Rihanna stole the show during the Super Bowl half time performance on Sunday night – but some fans were confused by the sultry energy she brought to the stage. 

The Shine Bright Like a Diamond singer, 34, wowed fans in a sexy all-red outfit – and in a swooping dance move, seemed to grab her crotch before licking her fingers.

Her risqué show saw her belt out some of her greatest hits, including Run This Town and We Found Love at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where the Philadelphia Eagles are taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. 

Rihanna has not performed on live television since 2018 – where she joined DJ Khaled on stage to sing Wild Thoughts at the Grammy Awards. But her Super Bowl comeback did not disappoint fans who had missed her signature sexy energy.

The singer, 34, seemed to lick her lips after the sultry dance move. While some fans loved the sexy performance, others said that it made for some awkward family viewing 

Rihanna started off the show suspended on a platform high above the field as she belted out her single B**** Better Have My Money.

The monumental show is also her first performance since giving birth to her first child in May of 2022. She shares her son — whose name has not been released — with her partner of three years, the rapper A$AP Rocky. 

One fan – commenting on her sexy performance – said: ‘The Rihanna concert was very cool, actually. 

‘There were one or two parts where we covered kids eyes, but it was mostly very cool.’ 

Another added: ‘Rihanna, Great show & production. Awesome seeing all the choreography. I enjoyed it. Could have done with less crotch grabbing, my parents are watching, Ri!’

Despite some viewers loving her sultry dance moves, others said that it made for some uncomfortable half-time viewing for football fans watching with their families. 

One person said: ‘I thought the Rihanna’s crotch rubbing was particularly off putting. Totally unnecessary.’ While another added: ‘Just saw Rihanna sniff her crotch with my mom, thanks NFL.’ 

Another, more critical viewer, said: ‘Low energy and disgusting. Why did she grab her crotch, then smell it!! Horrible show for our kids!’
