It’s possible that Rihanna’s high-profile, televised performances in 2023 had something to do with the expansion of her social media presence.
In February, she was the star of Apple Music’s Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show. She sang singles from the top of the charts like “Work,” “Umbrella,” and “We Found Love” during her set.
Weeks later, Rihanna performed “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on stage at the 95th Academy Awards.
