Rihanna has been proving she's more than a pop star or [Ep4] Secret Campusbudding actress. The bad gal has been using her voice to spotlight girls education issues around the globe in partnership with her Clara Lionel Foundation.

Those efforts landed her a meeting with France's President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron, and upon seeing photos of their encounter, people are ready for Rihanna's political moment. Plus, when Macron shook her hand it was all so seemingly normal with a splash of laughter, no push-and-pull a la U.S. President Trump involved. Remember this?
