The 23-year-old Mexican, like most Americans, witnessed the Super Bowl. Despite the Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahones, winning the Super Bowl it was O’Ward’s tweet that won the fans over.
The Mexican tweeted, “Rihanna. Damn 🔥. You are a badass. I knew you would not disappoint #SuperBowlLVII”. O’Ward’s tweet referred to American singer Rihanna’s halftime performance.

Musically speaking, the American fans who expected some fresh tracks from the singer were disappointed. However, the singer ruled the stage with her hits from the past.
