According to several reports from Twitter users, the platform experienced many malfunction issues after the Super Bowl show and Rihanna's appearance.
On Sunday, many Super Bowl and Rihanna fans took to Twitter to write about her outstanding performance and something they noticed during halftime.
So it seems that the star decided to use her show to announce her pregnancy , and it seemed to have such a resonance that it probably managed to "break" the Twitter platform.
A few minutes after her set, as the two teams began the second half of the championship, a large surge in Twitter outages was observed.

Thousands of reports of outages were noted from the superstar's fans - who were lifted high on a platform above the field - who logged in and enthusiastically asked on the platform whether she is pregnant.
Although the website Downdetector, which tracks outages reported by users, mainly reported app outages, there were also some problems with the page in general.
Many users reported that they encountered error messages saying «tweets are not loading now».
This crash appears to be linked to the sudden volume of posts that were published after the show.
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events and generates a lot of activity on social media from all angles. Whether with the NFL, the halftime show, the advertisements, and also the movie trailers.
Somewhat ironically, one might say, after the outbreak, Twitter owner Elon Musk sitting at State Farm Stadium next to media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
