The photos don't prove she could "Run This Town," but Rihanna's certainly got a flair for this "This Town."
Less than two weeks after making her triumphant return to Instagram, the pop star toured the White House on Monday with a large entourage and seemed genuinely excited to see the inside of the White House.
Rihanna even took to the
podium in the White House briefing room and pretended to field questions
from the press before taking a walk on the North Lawn.
The Barbados singer
apparently also channeled her inner Olivia Pope, the fictional star of
ABC's "Scandal," played by Kerry Washington.
In one caption where
Rihanna is talking on a pay phone, the caption reads "Fitz, darling," an
apparent reference to "Scandal"'s President Fitzgerald Grant, the
fictional two-term incumbent Republican and former governor of
California. In another caption, Rihanna drops the acronym "O.P.A."
though it was unclear if she was referencing Oliva Pope and Associates,
or the Department of Health and Human Services branch Office of
Population Affairs.
But the tour wasn't all
fun and games as Rihanna also met with administration officials about
potential areas of partnership like working on the President's "My Brother's Keeper" initiative.
Rihanna is in town for
the Veterans Day benefit Concert for Valor, where she will perform
Tuesday alongside Bruce Springsteen, Carrie Underwood and other artists.
