10 tweets that are melting over Rihanna’s 2018 Grammys performance, gifs included
Rihanna rocked the house at the 2018 Grammys tonight in true iconic fashion, with a mesmerizing performance of “Wild Thoughts.” Joined by DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller, the Barbados beauty stunned in a hot pink shimmering dress with an oversized flower pinned in her hair and her killer dance moves. Literally, we cannot get over how fire Rihanna’s performance was. It was sexy, powerful, and just straight up magic. And we need more magic in 2018 (thank you, RiRi).
The singer also won the Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Performance for “Royalty,” a collaboration she did with Kendrick Lamar. This is her ninth Grammy, after she was nominated for a total of eight last year but went home empty-handed. During their acceptance speech, Lamar said the award “really belongs to her,” a notion she responded to with grace.
“Well thank you Kendrick for giving me this incredible opportunity to be on such a good record,” she said. “I’m honored to be able to do this with you.”
I mean look how cute the pair was when they heard they won.
