Pregnant Ciara Shocks iHeartRadio Festival Crowd With Backbend Move

Ciara is pregnant with baby No. 5, hit the T-Mobile Arena stage in Las Vegas on Saturday night, September 19, for a career-spanning set loaded with both early hits and newer material. Ciara moved through “Goodies,” “Oh,” “Get Up,” and “1, 2 Step,” alongside “Level Up,” “How We Roll,” and “Yes”—and spent much of the performance doing exactly what audiences have expected from her for more than two decades: dancing. Even the growing baby bump became part of the show. During “Like A Boy,” Ciara pulled off a backbend while holding her stomach, then acknowledged that her newest passenger was apparently getting a workout, too. “This baby up here bouncin’ around,” she joked to the crowd“ This mama gonna stay movin’,” she added, making it clear she planned to keep “dancin’ around” during her pregnancy. The performance came less than two weeks after Ciara and husband Russell Wilson announced that their family is expanding again. The couple broke the news on Instagram with a clothesline featuring white shirts bearing the names of their four children—Future, Sienna, Win and Amora—followed by one tiny blank shirt reserved for the newest addition.
