In 2012, Rihanna was invited to Victoria Secret to perform "Diamonds" and Phresh Out The Runway and was labeled as the best top twelve Victoria Secret live performances ever since. In 2017 she made her first beauty line “Fenty beauty” that gained extra popularity for her success in her career and is one of the most popular makeup brands and the 2nd makeup brand to have the most foundation shades in Sephora till this day. In February 2023, she performed at the Super Bowl LVII halftime show after not performing a show since her 2018 Grammy Awards, and has also announced her second pregnancy reveal on stage and attracted over 121 million viewers surpassing the previous record held by Katy Perry.

Fans were excited for new music from her after almost a decade of not receiving new music or any albums. In celebration for all the success she has made from this journey Rihanna wanted to thank her fans on instagram for all the support she has had over the years “20 years ago, I left my country, my culture, my food, and family to embark on a journey that started with the release of my very first body of music!” |
