Chrissy Teigen showed her support for husband John Legend by live-tweeting throughout his appearance in "Jesus Christ Superstar Live" on Sunday.

Legend and co-star Sara Bareilles were the stars of NBC's live broadcast of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's hit musical, which made its Broadway debut in 1971.

The pregnant model, who is renowned for her lively Twitter feed, ensured she and her followers were kept abreast of the "Glory" singer's performance as Jesus Christ during the special.

"8 mins til #JesusChristSuperstarLive!! I can’t wait to learn about Jesus and superstars!!!!" the 32-year-old tweeted ahead of the event on Sunday evening.

When Legend first appeared during the show's opening number, Teigen wrote, "HE HAS RISEN aaaaahahahahhahahahahahahahahh."

Later on she joked, "I have no idea what’s going on I’m assuming these people are bad because coats," and "Oh s*** the lepers that was the rehearsal I brought (daughter) Luna to. That was a mistake."

And she observed that the deep V-neck shirts worn by Legend and co-star, "Hamilton" alumni Brandon Victor Dixon, who starred as Judas on the show, gave a hint to their fates.

"I have a feeling whoever has the deepest V will be crucified," Teigen remarked. She later tweeted, "THE V’S. THEY ARE A’DEEPENING."

As well as keeping up her humorous commentary, Teigen praised the performance of John's co-star Sara Bareilles, who played Mary Magdalene, tweeting, "Sara’s voice is so pure. She makes singing seem so easy."

Other highlights of the show, which featured a guest appearance from veteran rocker Alice Cooper as King Herod, included Legend's show-stopping performance of number "Gethsemane," which earned the star plenty of praise on social media.

"He won’t say it but I know he was nervous for that song. So good!!" gushed Teigen on Twitter.
