It's Rihanna's world, we're just living in it. Since the initial announcement of her earning the coveted Super Bowl Halftime show spot last September, the Navy has been eagerly awaiting the Barbadian singer's return to the stage.
As it turns out, that may not be the only performance she puts on this year. According to The Sun, the Bad Gal could be heading out on a North American tour later in 2023. This would allegedly be followed by a trip across the pond to entertain more audiences next year.
"She has her North American dates ready to announce for 2023 after the Super Bowl. It will be a matter of time before she announces European dates for 2024," a source tells the outlet.
Additionally, they note that "[Rihanna's] plan is to set up mini residencies in major cities rather than visit multiple places."
The last time the "Needed Me" hitmaker gave us an album was in 2016. The arrival of ANTI was subsequently followed by a legendary tour. Of course, the Savage X Fenty creator hasn't made any project announcements just yet. However, if she's heading out on the road again, it wouldn't be unlikely to see her drop something.
Interestingly, insiders say that Rihanna is seeking a "short and sweet" return to her singing career. This is because she has so much on her plate between her lingerie brand as well as Fenty Beauty and Skin.
Aside from all the rumours, paparazzi cameras have also caught the 34-year-old working hard in the studio lately. Most of her energy is currently going toward preparing for her quickly approaching concert. This is leading fans to believe it will surely be the performance of a lifetime.
2023 has only just begun, but it's already shaping up to be huge for Rihanna. Fans are undeniably eager to see her return to the stage later this month. On top of that, they could also witness her taking home her first Oscar in the coming weeks.
Late last month, the mother of one earned a nomination alongside Tems and Ryan Coogler for their work on "Lift Me Up" from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
