Irina Shayk‘s cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was supposed to be unveiled tonight at midnight on The Late Show With Dave Letterman. But thanks to the magic of Twitter, we have the photo right now! A billboard featuring the cover was unveiled for a few minutes so it could be taped for the show, then covered up again. But not before intrepid tweeter Rana Wardlaw could snap a pic and post it online for the world to see.

So there you have it! The beauty of Twitter: Letting us see things before we were supposed to see them since 2006.
