When asked by E! News if she had any advice for the Umbrella hitmaker on navigating motherhood, the Firework singer encouraged her boyfriend to “get all into it.”

“I’m so happy for her and congratulations,” the 13-time Grammy nominee said on the red carpet of season 20 of American Idol.

“I know this time is so precious and it’s just a wonderful, fun time.”

When it came to Rihanna’s 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, Perry was also completely behind her fellow superstar.

While appearing on YouTube from LADbible TV channel last November, ahead of the highly publicized event, she said her halftime show performance would be “absolutely broken by Rihanna” before adding that she hoped it would.

Rihanna made a surprise appearance at CinemaCon Day Four in Las Vegas on Thursday to announce that she will voice Smurfette in Paramount’s The Smurfs Movie.

The Lift Me Up singer walked onto the stage at Caesar’s Palace in a stonewash, hooded denim dress and matching thigh-high boots.

After the Grammy winner revealed she will be lending her voice to the character of Smurfette in the live-action movie, she joked, “I tried to get the part of Papa Smurf but it didn’t work out.”
