Pop star Rihanna got all dolled up and headed to “Good Morning America” this morning to discuss recently nabbing the honor of being named an icon by the American Music Awards and her new Viva Glam campaign with MAC. She even subtly confirmed that new music is on the way and we have the highlights of the interview and video as well.
On her recent Grammy win:
“I was at home and was shocked. It was a surprisingly emotional experience. I was at home and my friend texted me and told me that I won (a Grammy). I looked on the internet and saw it there – ‘Unapologetic’. I was excited and glad to be excited at this point in my career.”
On being considered an icon in music just several years in the industry:
“It is a very surreal feeling. It’s almost like I can’t touch it. It felt like I was dreaming. It didn’t feel real and still doesn’t. Because I feel there’s so much I still want to do. “Icon” is such a big word. So the pressure is on (laughs).”
And on what the future holds for her music career:
“Music is what I love to do. So you never have to worry about that.”
She even took some time out to pose and snap photos with her fans (Photo Credit: Rihanna Daily):

UB y’all are fast today! LOL! Anyway, she looks gorgeous and she’s very humble. I know a lot of people don’t think she deserves to be an icon for whatever delusional reasons they may have, but I love that she doesn’t seem to let that bring her down. I love her. She’s so down to earth and works so hard.
She looks very pretty. I love her outfit. *exits post*
She looks nice with black hair. That’s all I got.
No shade, but I still think it’s way too soon to call her an icon. She’s just getting started and I’m sure she will do even bigger things. But that’s just my opinion Navy don’t come for me. lol
Love the black hair on her!
She looks the best with black hair.
I think she looks pretty. As far as the icon thing goes, I’m not a fan but I can say I’m happy to see another black woman doing this well. Beyonce and Rihanna are doing it big and I’m genuinely happy for them both because it’s not common for black artists to be that successful at the same time.
She’s gorgeous! And yes, Rihanna is already an icon. But so is Beyonce. They both slay and haters will deal! 🙂
Congrats to her. Without the unnecessary drama and shading on social networks, I’ve mustered up some genuine happiness for her. And as everyone else has said, she looks great. I love the black hair on her as well. She rocks a meeeeeeeeean short cut tho. Hopefully that’ll be returning soon too.
Love her!
But she has nothing on queen Bey
and on that note *sucks teeth*
It’s honestly easier for me to just to ignore her than dislike her or debate with her fans. However I do think she looks better with black hair. *Exits post behind CiCi*
