During a recent interview with JunoTV, Alessia Cara was asked what was one of her ‘most low-key, exciting’ experiences from last year … of course Alessia reminisced about the time she met and worked with Rihanna.

 

“I got to meet Rihanna, which was really crazy. I didn’t even take a picture with her. I just met her and it was awesome. It was to work on her album, which was crazy. So I just went in there; I was like, ‘Hi! Great to meet you! I love you!’ and I just kind of did my thing and left and it was awesome. I don’t even have her number. It was a ‘hi’ and ‘bye.’ I went for the handshake and she went for the hug. She was so sweet. I love Rihanna, I’m obsessed, just meeting her was crazy. And no one really knew about it. I didn’t even want to take a picture because I’m, like, this moment is just, I’m gonna have this in my brain.”

Although the meeting was strictly professional and not personal, Alessia said that she wanted to ‘mentally cherish the moment instead of broadcasting it.’

 

However, Alessia did work on a song for Rihanna’s album Anti unfortunately, the song didn’t make the cut.

 

Although many assumed Alessia was referring to a new Rihanna album, she quickly shut down the rumours on Twitter, explaining it was the ANTI album that she contributed to.
