Zendaya’s Reaction to Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Is Just as Iconic as the Performance Itself

Rihanna made her big comeback onstage during the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, serving major looks in a full face of Fenty Beauty and performing all her greatest hits, from “We Found Love” to “Umbrella.” It marks the first time the multi-hyphenate has performed on a public platform since she sang “Wild Thoughts” with DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller at the 2018 Grammy Awards, and the mom-of-two-to-be did not come to play.

While fans dreamed up potential set lists for the historical performance, they noted that Spider-Man star Tom Holland should make a guest appearance during “Umbrella” because of his hilarious performance of the 2007 track during an episode of Lip Sync Battle, where he competed against his GF and all-around icon Zendaya.

It appears that Z caught wind of the fan theories, because following Rihanna’s showstopping performance at the Super Bowl, the 26-year-old actor posted a priceless reaction on her Instagram Story. The Euphoria star posted a pic of Rih’s fierce stare from the beginning of the show and followed it with a screenshot of her *exact* reaction during Tom’s performance of “Umbrella” in 2017. TBH, she’s so real for this.

The 2017 Lip Sync Battle episode featured Tom’s memeworthy grandiose performance of “Singing in the Rain” and RiRi’s hit track while Zendaya dressed up in a full Bruno Mars–inspired ’fit to lip-sync “24K Magic.” The power of Rihanna earned Tom the crown of the lip sync battle that night and became an iconic moment in pop culture history for years to come.

While Rihanna’s halftime show didn’t include any special appearances other than her baby bump, we can still hold out hope that she and Tom will break the internet with an interaction one day.
