Rihanna’s Time To Shine Like A Diamond, With Ongoing Talks Of Her Possibly Headlining The Glastonbury Festival
Rihanna has been making a solid comeback after stepping slightly away from the limelight to embrace motherhood. Sources have revealed that talks are ongoing for the singer to headline the Glastonbury Festival. This is a first for the singer, who made her debut when she was 17 and Jay-Z’s protégé.
Last Friday, the new mom released her first single, breaking her six-year hiatus. The Stay singer is reportedly set to perform at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime show. And now, news has come out that the father-daughter organizers of Glastonbury—Emily Eavis and dad Michael—have approached the singer for the possibility of another heart-stopping and crowd-moving performance.
And a source claimed that should the plan happen for Rihanna, next year is the best time for the Barbadian singer to take center stage at Somerset’s Worthy Farm. Rihanna is a colossal name, and her performance can make the line-up exciting and something to look forward to.
Sources close to the singer revealed that Rihanna’s comeback and her music performances are carefully planned, and her team is keeping a guarded stance about what to accept. However, her team has communicated with the Eavis family, so performance at next year’s festival is a huge possibility.
Last week, Rihanna reminded the world of how good she is as a singer, and fans were ecstatic with the release of Lift Me Up, the soundtrack for the equally awaited Wakanda Forever, Black Panther’s sequel. The movie is set for release in theaters this Friday, November 11.
The soundtrack was a poignant tribute to Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman, who died in 2020. Rihanna’s beautiful falsetto created inspiring and memorable music, especially when she hit the lyrics: “Keep me safe, safe, and sound.”
After the song’s release, fans were all eager to share their thoughts on social media, and many were simply awestruck while processing the lyrics and letting the beautiful melody take over. As always, Rihanna’s vocals were impeccable. Her flawless vocals and the lyrics led many to tears and a state of nostalgia.
Many Rihanna followers, dubbed “The Navy,” also expressed how moving the song was, with many speculating that it could be a contender for a possible Oscar under the Best Original song category. And given the beautiful composition and melody, it could be a possibility.
It appears the singer will soon have a busy schedule, given her back-to-back commitments to huge events, including the 2023 Super Bowl half-time show. The Diamonds singer had already been invited to perform back in 2019, but she declined due to how the NFL organization treated Colin Kaepernick.
But everything seems to be in the past since Rihanna’s confirmation last September to give an all-out performance that would surely be a historical half-time show. Aside from her music comeback, the singer has also been returning to her other equally successful ventures, including her makeup brand Fenty with the support of her partner A$AP Rocky.
