Performing a medley of her greatest hits, Rihanna, 34, took the stage for the first time in over half a decade.
Of course, it didn’t take long before fans spotted Adele in the audience, as eager to see Rihanna’s much-anticipated performance as the rest of us.
While in her seat, Adele could be seen shushing the people around her in preparation for the performance.
The Move Makes Sense Since Adele And Rihanna Are Longtime Friends
Adele and Rihanna’s friendship dates back years. Adele even wrote the Time profile for Rihanna back in 2018.
“I actually can’t remember the first time I met Rihanna; I was probably numb from the shock of it,” she wrote in the profile . “She is one year older than me, but I feel she’s been around forever. The progression of her superstardom feels steady, well deserved, and extremely natural.”
Adele continued, expressing her admiration for Rihanna all throughout the piece. She ended by saying, “She glows like when someone’s taken a picture with a flash and you’re dazed for a few minutes after. But it’s also very clear in that glow that she genuinely doesn’t give a f***; she’s fearless and full of all the right kind of attitude to be everything that she is and will be forever.”
