Rihanna 'Fat Shamed' By Trolls After Grammys Performance

Barbadian singer Rihanna wowed audiences as the 2018 Grammy Awards with her live performance but also fell victim to online abuse and speculation about her weight.

Most reacted to Rihanna's performance of 'Wild Thoughts' positively, impressed by her singing, dancing and choreographed set.

Rihanna was onstage with a shed-load (approximately) of dancers and stars DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller. Her performance received praise from fans. Some were wowed by her vocal display, others by her performance of Gwara Gwara, a South African dance.

However, while most users were impressed by her performance, some speculated about her supposed weight gain and whether she might be pregnant.

Hmm, he seems like a tool. Others were more speculative in their guesswork.

The gossip was well analysed up by one social media user, who summed up the pinch of salt most speculation is best taken with, while another noted that it's a bit rude to speculate as to whether someone (a woman, generally) is or isn't pregnant.

Although Rihanna didn't win an award for 'Wild Thoughts' itself, she did pick up her 9th Grammy for her work on the Kendrick Lamar track 'Loyalty'
