Rihanna spent Monday posing for photos around the White House and channeling her inner Kerry Washington from the hit ABC series “Scandal.”
Less than two weeks after she very publicly returned to Instagram, Rihanna posted several photos of her and her entourage at the White House.
The singer was in town to headline a free concert on Washington’s National Mall to raise awareness for veterans’ issues, the New York Post reported.
She also met with the Obama administration to talk about potential areas of partnership, such as working on the president’s “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative, CNN reported.
“Cyrus!!! Let me in!!! #DayAtTheWhiteHouse,” she captioned one photo of herself, pretending to be Ms. Washington’s character, Olivia Pope, on a phone outside the White House gates. The fictional president’s chief of staff Cyrus Beene is played by Jeff Perry.
“Fitz, darling…” Rihanna captioned another photo, referring to TV President Fitz Grant, played by Tony Goldwyn.
“West Wing Posse!! We wanna be O.P.A. so bad!!! #DayAtTheWhiteHouse,” she captioned one group shot, apparently referring to Olivia Pope and Associates.
A TMZ photographer caught up with Rihanna as she was leaving the White House to ask her what her favorite part of the tour was.
“My president being black,” she responded.
