Superstar Rihanna is finally reconnecting with her fans as she encouraged Americans to use their vote for the betterment of the country.

The Barbadian singer and businesswoman, who is ineligible to vote due to her U.S. citizenship, called on her followers to create change, even though she's unable to cast a vote herself.

Sharing a video of herself as she drove away, Rihanna could be seen sneaking around the poll stations.

She joked about being unable to vote in the caption of her latest post, “POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #votecauseicant.”

Referring to Harris’ playful nod to the viral tan suit moment during Barack Obama’s presidency, the mom-of-two wrote across the photo, “When protecting p**sies and firing p***sies can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason.”

Fans thronged the comments section with heartwarming comments for the singer.

One fan commented, “I voted for us sis”

Another enthused, “today is the day i found out rihanna isnt a us citizen”

The Where Have You Been alum, who was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, has made her first official announcement in favour of the presidential candidate Kamala Harris, following in the footsteps of other A-list celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé among others.
