BLACKPINK’s Rosé recalls the time she fangirled over Rihanna at the MET Gala in a resurfaced interview

BLACKPINK’s Rosé made her 2021 Met Gala debut with Saint Laurent vibes, but it wasn’t the fashion that left her shook—it was a surprise meet-and-greet with none other than Rihanna. In a recent resurfaced interview with Vogue, the BLACKPINK diva let everyone know that she is never getting over that moment!

While waiting to have videos and photos taken, Rosé was told to hold for a moment—because Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were about to walk in. She didn’t mind waiting, but what happened next was straight out of a dream. A crew member asked Rihanna if she knew Rosé, so the “Diamonds” singer walked straight up to her, took her hands, and said, “I know you. You’re doing amazing—keep it up.”

Rosé later joked that she was sad to wash her hands afterward. And honestly, who wouldn’t be? Talk about a moment when two divas join forces to maximize their epic slay! But for Rosé, this is a memory of a fangirl meeting her idol. Just like that, Rihanna might just be our artist’s favorite artist.
