Rihanna has her finger on the pulse of her fanbase, and is very aware that the Navy (the nickname given to her legion of fans) was, in her words, “triggered” by a Conner Ives T-shirt dress she wore last week that read “I’m Retired, This Is As Dressed Up As I Get.”
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna joked that, instead of fans’ focus on the “I’m Retired” apparent declaration, they should have focused on the second half of the statement: “No one read the other line,” she said yesterday, referencing the “dressed up” part of the outfit. “People got triggered with that ‘Retired’ word. They were like, ‘We’re never getting an album now.’”
