Rihanna is breaking hearts in Savage x Fenty’s new Valentine’s Day campaign. The superstar singer and self-made billionaire modeled the latest looks from her lingerie brand’s “Love So Savage” collection, including a black lace, rose-printed bra and robe, a bright red bra with frilled hems, and a G-string. The Barbadian beauty aptly name-dropped the Greek goddess of love and lust in the caption: “Aphrodite was a savage.”
She’ll no doubt be spending V-Day with A$AP Rocky, her partner of five years and father of her three children. But the Rihanna Navy is likely most excited about the prospect of a 2026 world tour, which has yet to be officially confirmed. After celebrating the 20th anniversary of her debut album, 2005’s Music of the Sun, with a giant R20 merch drop in September of 2025, rumors began swirling that she’ll hit the road this year. However, those tour rumors are largely based on reports that she has scheduled dates for a London residency in summer 2026. It’s worth noting that a global tour would coincide perfectly with the 10th anniversary of her 2016 album Anti.
Meanwhile, her ninth album, referred to as R9, is also still in the works. “After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in early 2025, referencing the gap between albums. “It has to count. It has to matter. I have to show them the worth in the wait.”
“I’ve been in the studio the whole eight years. But it didn’t hit me,” she added. “I was searching for it. I went through phases of what I wanted to do… I know it’s not going to be anything that anybody expects. And it’s not going to be commercial or radio-digestible. It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I’ve finally cracked it, girl!” If nothing else, the stage is definitely set for a RiRi musical comeback in 2026.
