Rihanna is back ... taking the Super Bowl by storm and reminding everybody what they've been missing for 6-plus years ... which, according to some, appears to be their mommy.
The singer/fashion mogul hit the stage Sunday after the 2nd quarter of the game came to a close -- and right from the jump, you could tell this was going to be something else ... with RiRi making a grand entrance to kick off an epic 13-minute set chock-full of hits.
Rihanna's show featured her and her dancers on multiple elevated platforms, which she gradually came down from to continue the show.
