Rihanna’s long-awaited Super Bowl Halftime Show was historic for very unexpected reasons — she became the first halftime show headliner to reveal she was expecting a child during the event and perform while pregnant.
The show also incorporated the first female performer who is deaf to interpret the halftime show for viewers: American Sign Language interpreter Justina Miles, whose energetic performance has gone viral on Twitter and Instagram.
While viewers watching the Super Bowl on TV with cable weren’t privy to Miles’ history-making performance, fans who streamed the halftime show online caught her ASL signage, and for many, she quickly stole the spotlight.
Miles captured all of our reactions when RiRi opened with “Bitch Better Have My Money” before going on to break it down to hits like “Where Have You Been” and “Rude Boy.”
For moments like the “Pose” dance break during “Pour It Up,” Miles did all of the moves fans would usually save for living room dance parties, and for that, Twitter was just as impressed with her as they were with Rihanna’s performance.
