Fans couldn’t wait for Rihanna’s long-awaited return to a stage, which came at halftime of Super Bowl 57. And for the most part, it lived up to what people were hoping to see.
She performed a lot of her biggest hits, coming out on platforms that reminded people of Super Smash Bros., and it turned out to be a good show even without a guest appearance.
But it’s not a perfect Super Bowl halftime until somebody becomes a meme, and unfortunately for Rihanna’s poor background dancers, they were an easy target thanks to these puffed-up windbreakers they were wearing as they ran onto the field.
NFL fans had a ball.
