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?
