Taking control of Carey’s microphone, the Fenty Beauty founder excitedly announced, “Mariah Carey is signing my tit, y’all! This sâ is fâing epic!” The two superstars then embraced, marking the entertaining exchange.
Social media erupted with delighted reactions, with fans describing it as a “perfect moment.” One Instagram user commented on Rihanna’s carefree attitude, while another expressed surprise at the unexpected celebrity interaction.
The tour, which began in November, faced some challenges when Carey had to cancel several shows in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York due to health concerns. On December 11, she announced via X her flu-related cancellation in Pittsburgh, followed by additional cancellations in Newark and Belmont Park while recovering.
Bouncing back, Carey expressed gratitude to her fans on Monday, stating, “Lambs, thank you for making my #Christmastime so special â¤ď¸ I’ve loved singing with you every night, and I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow in Brooklyn for the last show of the tour.”
Rihanna said A$AP Rocky told her to come to the front row and get Mariah Careyâs autograph đ. Mariah even wanted her shades:
M: âWho has the shades? Can I buy them?â
R: âYeah, you can have them. For free!â pic.twitter.com/jDzUoV1HJ9— Fenty Headlines (@FentyHeadlines) December 18, 2024
While Rihanna hasn’t shared the concert experience on her social platforms, this isn’t her first notable celebrity encounter this year. In January, she had an equally enthusiastic interaction with Natalie Portman during Paris Fashion Week.
The encounter left such an impression that Portman, 43, later shared the experience on “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” recounting how Rihanna called her “one of the hottest bitches in Hollywood forever.” Portman added that such encouragement from Rihanna would benefit any woman going through divorce, referencing her own separation from Benjamin Millepied.
