Rihanna made a surprising revelation at the world premiere of the ‘Smurfs’ movie in Brussels on June 28. The singer, who is currently pregnant, disclosed her unexpected go-to karaoke song during the event, and it seems to be inspired by her role as Smurfette in the film.
Dressed in a sheer baby blue Chanel outfit while walking the blue carpet, the 37-year-old singer opened up about her favourite karaoke tune. Speaking to U.K. radio station Capital FM at the premiere, Rihanna playfully shared, “Ohhhh! Oh my gosh, it’s, it’s, it’s … maybe ‘Burning Blue’ by Mariah the Scientist.”
The track, titled ‘Burning Blue,’ is the lead single from Mariah the Scientist’s upcoming fourth studio album and has made its mark on the music charts, peaking at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Rihanna’s involvement in the ‘Smurfs’ movie allowed fans to hear her rendition of “Friend of Mine,” a song that celebrates friendship and features a vibrant music video with dancing Smurfs.
