Rihanna’s Message In 2020 Election Was Simple: Count All Votes

Millions of Americans glued themselves to their screens, refreshing for election results, but Rihanna wasn’t in a hurry to see a winner declared.

The singer made her position obvious on Instagram, posting a simple but powerful message across several posts: count every vote.

Rihanna appealed for patience as votes were counted around the country, with tempers flaring and speculation running rampant on social media.

So when she spoke, it was no surprise. Rihanna has used her platform to speak out on social issues and to encourage civic engagement throughout her career. She’s always been open about her views on major issues, making headlines in music, fashion, or beauty.

As the country waits for one of the most watched election results in history, Rihanna reminded everyone that democracy is not a race. Occasionally the most vital part of the process is to wait until all voices have been heard.
