Rihanna looked absolutely on point, wearing an all-red outfit along with a swathing red coat - an outfit which sparked speculation of a possible pregnancy.
The 34-year-old started her set with a bang - with 'B***h Better Have My Money' - before taking the audience through a whole host of her R&B and pop tunes from over the years.
Rihanna's partner - and confirmed soon-to-be baby daddy to not just one but two children with the singer - A$AP Rocky stood in the audience, dutifully recording RiRi's performance on his phone, flashlight shining, proudly beaming along and nodding his head in support before erupting into cheers and applause - and it's fair to say, fans can't get enough of his reaction.
Flooding to social media, fans of RiRi and Rocky have showered the 'D.M.B.' rapper with praise for being such a 'supportive partner'.
One said: "It's so cute how much he loves her!!! We love to see it!"
"He's in awe! Love this," another wrote.
A third commented: "A$AP Rocky having the biggest smile being proud of Rihanna my HEART #SuperBowl."
A final said: "Bro looking like a proud parent, I love that for them."
The 'Love on the Brain' singer admitted to The Hollywood Reporter it was tough weighing up whether or not to perform at the Super Bowl, having to make the decision three months postpartum - her and Rocky's first son now nine months old.
She said: "I was like, ‘You sure? I’m three months postpartum. Should I be making major decisions like this right now? I might regret this'.
"When you become a mom, there’s something that just happens where you feel like you could take on the world - you can do anything.
"And the Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world, so as scary as that was … there’s something exhilarating about the challenge of it all. It’s important for my son to see that."
Rihanna's representatives confirmed the singer is expecting her second child with Rocky shortly after her Super Bowl performance ended.
