Rita Ora set social media alight this Wednesday with a playful cheerleader-themed Instagram post that cleverly nodded to the impending Super Bowl weekend. The 35-year-old singer, known for her chart-topping hit Poison, showcased a sensational blue cheerleader dress adorned with sequin detailing in blue, red, and silver across the top.
A Glamorous Display in Full Costume
Ora presented a leggy display, pairing the vibrant dress with striking red knee-high boots and accessorising with dazzling silver hoop earrings. Her blonde tresses were styled in glamorous waves, completing the look with two blue and silver pom poms as she posed for a series of sizzling snaps. In a short accompanying clip, the songstress appeared in high spirits, energetically running on stage while wearing the eye-catching outfit.
Playful Caption References Big Game
The entertainer captioned her post with characteristic wit, writing: 'Apparently there's a big game this weekend. Anyway here's me as a cheerleader.' This lighthearted reference comes ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl, where the New England Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium, with Bad Bunny headlining the highly anticipated half-time show.
Super Bowl Introductions and Personal Updates
The NFL recently revealed that Chris Pratt, a devoted Seattle fan, will introduce the Seahawks, while rock icon Jon Bon Jovi has been honoured with introducing the Patriots before kickoff. Ora's cheerful post arrives amidst personal developments for the singer, who recently addressed the online leak of a song dedicated to her husband, filmmaker Taika Waititi.
Album Teasers and Family Life
Last month, Ora teased her fourth studio album with a handwritten note stating 'album 4' alongside the caption: '2026 will be a good year.' The leaked track, Tokyo Karaoke, reportedly contains lyrics inspired by her trip to Japan where she fell in love with Waititi. According to sources, the song was originally intended for her third album You & I and features heartfelt lyrics about love and support.
Responding to the leak on Instagram, Ora displayed good humour, telling fans: 'Guess leaking is still a thing. Luckily I actually love this song. So enjoy. Thanks to whoever leaked it.' The singer has also recently opened up about her role as a stepmother to Waititi's two daughters, describing the experience as a 'real eye-opener' that has broadened her perspective on life.
Balancing Career and Family
In a rare comment about her family life, Ora revealed that she finds stepmotherhood 'really easy,' sharing that their mornings often involve family workouts together. She married Waititi in 2022, becoming stepmother to his daughters Te Kāinga o te Hinekāhu, 13, and Matewa Kiritapu, nine. The couple began dating in March 2021 after five years of close friendship, with Waititi having previously been married to Chelsea Winstanley for seven years.
Ora's cheerful Super Bowl tease demonstrates her continued engagement with fans through social media while balancing her music career with family commitments. The post has generated significant attention online, showcasing her ability to merge pop culture moments with personal style in a way that resonates with her substantial following.
