She also tweeted compliments to many of her celebrity pals who took part in the event, from 21 Savage and Big Sean to Normani.

“NORMANNIIIIII you bad BIH!!!! Ugh why can’t I be you?!” Rihanna tweeted to Normani, following her appearance on the show. “Thank you sooo much sis! KILLED IT!!!”

To which Normani replied, “this is actually my prayer every night !!! lol I literally just told [my lawyer] Ed Shapiro ‘I wanna be Rih when I grow up.’ I love you trillions queen. thank you for allowing me to be a part of history.”

And Ed Shapiro confirmed, “Yep, she said that.”

Normani’s definitely having a moment: Her duet with Sam Smith, “Dancing with a Stranger,” is a smash, and her current single “Motivation,” co-written by Ariana Grande, is moving up the charts.
