The ‘Queen of the Court’, Serena Williams, has an army of fans, collectively known as ‘Rena’s Army’. But recently, the 23-time Grand Slam champion was having her own fan moment, for none other than the world-renowned R&B singer, Rihanna. The announcement of Rihanna performing at the Super Bowl half-time has got every Rihanna fan excited; be it the young Coco Gauff or the American tennis legend, Serena.

Moreover, Williams owns a minority stake in the NFL team, Miami Dolphins, which would have surely contributed to her excitement for the Super Bowl. But it looks like Williams is more excited about experiencing Rihanna perform alive after a long time.

Serena Williams’ fan moment for the pop singer Rihanna

Rihanna is all set to make a comeback at the Super Bowl LVII. The fact that the renowned singer would be performing live after years of absence from the stage has every fan thrilled. And the same is the case with the American tennis legend. Although Williams’ team was eliminated in the playoffs, the 23-time Grand Slam winner is anything but sad. She is looking on the brighter side, as she is excited about Rihanna’s big stage return!

The ‘Queen of the Court’ detailed about the same in an exclusive interview with Essence. She said, “I sure hope she does [“Lift Me Up”]. It makes me cry every time.” She is surely looking forward to doing away with the disappointment of her team not making it to the final showdown at the beats of the pop-singer!

She further confessed her admiration for the singer, “I’m such a massive Rihanna fan. I just was so happy that she did that song for [Black Panther: Wakanda Forever] and I’m so happy that she is doing the Super Bowl.”

However, the founder of Serena Ventures didn’t turn out to be a new Rihanna fan. Over the years, she has made her love for the popstar evident. Last year, she shared another Rihanna fan moment after the release of the singer’s Black Panter 2 album.
