However, another subtle stunt in her performance has significantly paid off for the R&B singer, in terms of bringing her business into the spotlight. While many of her fans were mesmerized by her performance, her ‘business move’ certainly caught the eye of Serena Williams’ entrepreneur husband Alexis Ohanian.

The pop star’s announcement of her pregnancy during the opening few minutes of her performance startled both her fans and the Super Bowl audience. But there was more to the performance than just that one moment that left the audience in awe.
