Rihanna Reveals The Real Reason She Won’t Perform With Taylor Swift

"In my mind, she's a role model." While Taylor Swift might be well known for the vast array of celebrity guests appearing on stage during her 1989 tour, it looks like there’s one singer who won’t be joining her. Rihanna will not be joining Taylor on stage.  Rihanna revealed to NME this week that she doesn’t think they’d be able to perform together. “I don’t think I would [join Taylor on stage],” she revealed. “I just don’t think it makes sense." Taylor has had a hugely successful year. “I don’t think our brands are the same: I don’t think they match, I don’t think our audiences are the same,” she continued. “In my mind, she’s a role model. I’m not,” she added.
