Pop superstar Rihanna took to the 60th Grammy Awards stage on Sunday night in a pink dress and silver heels. She had matching flower on her head. Everything looked "normal", and there were no signs of extraordinary things happening β until the last few seconds of her "Wild Thoughts" performance alongside DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller.
No one was ready for her interpretation of South African-inspired Gwara Gwara dance moves.

Twitter went wild β both during and long after her performance.
Although many on Twitter were focused on speculation that Riri could be pregnant, most South Africans wanted to make one thing clear β the dance moves.
U.S. online magazine Vulture tweeted that the "Umbrella" hitmaker was doing the "stanky leg" β to much South African disapproval.
The responses (or rather corrections) came streaming in.
DJ Bongz, who made the dance move popular, has also responded to the performance with... well, a video of himself dancing the Gwara Gwara.
If you're still confused β the dances are different.
So if, like some on social media, you have not made up your mind, this should help you.

Gwara gwara:
You're welcome.
