How did the facility react to Rihanna's gesture?
The Arcadia Senior Living facility in Bowling Green put up a Facebook post with photos of the flowers, with the caption, "The moment we've hoped for, Rihanna has delivered!" Even Jay-Z sent them a bunch of red roses with a note that read, "We love the TikTok here at Roc Nation." The facility thanked both the stars.
"We were just in shock. This whole time, we've just been waiting for a response from Rihanna — not really thinking that it would ever happen because we know she's busy and we didn't really know if she saw it or not," Paige Oakes, the center’s director of community relations, told BuzzFeed News, adding, "It made our day knowing that it reached her and she got to watch it and enjoy seeing our residents dancing to her music and having fun."
A video that took Tik-Tok by storm
On February 23, the women uploaded their video to the app with the caption, "Our halftime show > Rihanna's halftime show." The women were seen in the video dressed in white like the singer's backup dancers, dancing and revealing one of the women dressed in red, recreating Rihanna's look from the halftime show. Their video has amassed over three million likes. In an interview with 'Fox & Friends', three of the women, who are in their 80s, elaborated how they came up with the idea and how they were assigned their roles. Pat, Dora and Sue said that social director of community activities had proposed the idea to the group.
