Is Rihanna<\/strong><\/a> in her wedding singer era, or does she have something bigger planned?<\/p>\n

On Friday, March 1, videos began to pop up online of Rihanna performing a small concert in Junagadh, India as part of a three-day pre-wedding celebration for Anant Ambani<\/strong>, the son of billionaire businessman Mukesh Ambani<\/strong>. Anant will tie the knot with Radhika Merchant<\/strong> in July.<\/p>\n

Rihanna sported a sparkling green long-sleeved dress with thigh-high pink boots as she performed her set for a crowd of 1,200 guests, which included the likes of Bill Gates<\/strong>, Ivanka Trump<\/strong> and Mark Zuckerberg<\/strong>. She performed a medley of hit songs, including \u201cWork,\u201d \u201cB\u2014h Better Have My Money\u201d and \u201cAll of the Lights,\u201d among others.<\/p>\n

Aside from her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, the wedding celebration marks her first performance since 2016, and some fans have speculated this outing could mean even more performances to come from the \u201cLove on the Brain\u201d singer, specifically at Glastonbury Music Festival.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHaute Couture Week 2024 has kicked off in Paris, and the biggest names in Hollywood have jetted to the City of Love to bask in the latest high-fashion trends.\u00a0 The week-long event commenced with the Schiaparelli show on Monday, January 22, which was attended by Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya and Hunter Schafer. Zendaya, 27, proved micro [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhile she was reportedly paid between $6 and $9 million for the 19 song set, I was still confused as to her motivations,\u201d Blakely Neiman Thornton,<\/strong> a self-described pop culture anthropologist, said via Instagram Reels<\/a> on Friday. Thornton noted that, because Rihanna is a billionaire herself, \u201cthere are a plethora of things she could do to make $9 million without going to India: a new Fenty lip liner, two Insta posts for a car company, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Thornton pointed out that, according to NME<\/a>, Rihanna is one of several acts rumored to be performing at Glastonbury this year, which will take place from June 26 to June 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Kelly Rowland<\/strong> would say, we have our motivations,\u201d Thornton said. \u201cThis crossing continents for $9 million is below her pay grade. But getting paid $9 million to practice? Seven figures for something you were gonna do anyway? Now that makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rihanna released her last album, Anti<\/em>, in 2016 and a follow-up has reportedly been in the works ever since. In 2019, multiple sources exclusively disclosed to Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> that the Grammy winner had finished recording her ninth album. According to one source, the vocals were complete but \u201cmastering and more behind-the-scenes stuff\u201d were still in the works. Rihanna herself claimed via Instagram that she would drop the record in 2019.<\/p>\n
