Rihanna’s return to the stage after seven long years was a welcome one as the singer entertained fans nationwide during the Super Bowl halftime performance. Not only was it an amazing set, Rihanna chose the most epic way to announce her second pregnancy.
Overall, fans were elated with the entire production. There was just one thing — or person, rather — that they thought was missing. While there was a significant amount of speculation around whether or not a special guest would join RiRi on stage, Tom Holland was a popular pick for dark horse candidate to reprise his incredible performance of “Umbrella” from “Lip Sync Battle.”
Holland, who is better known as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, delivered one of the greatest pop culture moments of the last decade while reminding everyone that, yes, he absolutely CAN dance.
It was highly unlikely that the web-slinger would have made an appearance in Glendale, but that didn’t stop fans from expressing their disappointment online. That’s just how iconic that video is.
