Kay So Here's Why Rihanna Skipped the Grammys This Year

Rihanna is, in a word, very important to us. And that’s why, when there is a red carpet event that we expect her to be at and she is not at, we are devastated. The 2022 Grammys are no exception—here’s what we know about why she wasn’t there.

Getting invited to the Grammys is a little bit weird. We think of it as one of those events where every famous person is in attendance, but usually you only get invited if you’re a nominee yourself, you’re a plus-one of someone nominated, or you’re performing or presenting. Considering Rihanna hasn’t put out new music in a very long time, there’s really no reason for her to be there (other than, of course, the fact that she is fabulous). She actually hasn’t gone to the Grammys since 2018:

It’s also possible that there were fewer people in attendance total because of COVID-19, and therefore because Rihanna wasn’t a nominee herself, she didn’t get to go. And she’s pregnant, which is another complicated factor. Not like pregnant women can’t attend the Grammys, obviously, but maybe she wasn’t comfortable being in that big of a room with that many people during a global pandemic. Totally understandable! It’s also possible that because she is Rihanna and her calendar is always packed and stacked, she couldn’t make it.

Rihanna did attend a pre-Grammys party hosted by Jay-Z, so maybe we’ll get some after-party pics of her later. Cross your fingers!!
