Fans React As Rihanna And Ciara Reunite 14 Years After Bitter Twitter Feud

Rihanna and Ciara sparked a buzz on social media after meeting on Monday night at the Met Gala blue carpet.

The singers' meeting came 14 years after their explosive feud on Twitter that caused them to avoid each other at public events.

In addition to the pair's reunion, Rihanna also revealed her growing baby bump as she and her partner, A$AP Rocky, gear up for baby number three.

The 2025 Met Gala had several talking points, including a reunion of music's biggest female stars, Rihanna and Ciara.

The pop queens posed for photographers while standing side by side at fashion's biggest night.

Ciara dazzled in a black and semi-sheer LaQuan Smith floor-length gown while Rihanna shone in a Marc Jacobs suit jacket, wool bustier top, and pinstripe skirt.

Rihanna and Ciara attended the event in New York City with their better halves, A$AP Rocky and Russell Wilson, respectively.

One picture of the women showed them posing side-by-side while flanked by their partners and actor and comedian Jeff Goldblum.

Another big story of the 2025 Met Gala was Rihanna officially announcing her third pregnancy.

The "Diamonds" singer debuted her baby bump at fashion's biggest night, surprising her fans again after previously unveiling her second pregnancy at the 2023 Super Bowl.

Rihanna and Ciara showed no bad blood during their reunion, as the latter cradled the "Work" singer's baby bump as they posed for snaps.

Pictures showed Ciara smiling and laughing heartily while her right hand was placed on Rihanna's baby bump. Rihanna also smiled while hugging Ciara.

Rihanna and Ciara's reunion at the Met Gala's blue carpet shocked many fans, considering how they went at each other on social media in 2011.

Several X users took turns sharing their thoughts about their reunion while recalling their infamous Twitter fight.

One person shared a screenshot of the women's exchange and wrote, "They've come full circle."

Another X user wondered if Rihanna and Ciara ever laughed about their feud years ago, while a third person added, "Ciara and Rihanna absolutely stole the spotlight at the #MetGala with their stunning looks!"

A fourth person wrote, "war is over," while a fifth fan added, "A hatchet buried. We love to see it."

Meanwhile, some fans urged the singers to collaborate on a song, while others shared their tweets about each other in 2011.

In 2011, Rihanna and Ciara made headlines over their exchange on Twitter, now known as X.

It all started after Ciara appeared on E!'s "Fashion Police" and called out her fellow singer's behavior when they met at a party.

The "Level Up" singer said Rihanna "wasn't the nicest" when they met before adding, "It's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done fashion and we were friends before."

She also said, "I've run into her before but this time, it wasn't the most pleasant run-in."

However, all hell was loose after Rihanna learned about Ciara's interview.

The "Umbrella" singer, notorious for her clap backs, responded to Ciara's shade on Twitter. She wrote, "My bad ci, did I 4get to tip you? #howrudeofme."

Ciara hit back by letting the Fenty Founder know she was ready for the heat. She wrote, "Trust me Rihanna you don't want to see me on or off the stage." Rihanna fired back, You gangsta huh? Haaa." She then added, "Good luck with booking that stage you speak of."

However, after the heated exchange, things quietened as both women resolved their differences behind the scenes. Afterward, Rihanna apologized to Ciara on Twitter.

She wrote, "Ciara baby, I love you girl! U hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's why I retaliated this way! So sorry! #letsmakeup."

Ciara graciously accepted Rihanna's apology and responded, "Rhi you know it's always been love since day 1! Doing shows/everything. You threw me off in that party! Apology accepted. Let's chat in person."

Since their 2011 feud, a lot has happened in the superstars' lives, as they have enjoyed greater success in their careers and personal lives.

Rihanna and Ciara are now mothers and in budding relationships. The "Stay" singer is now expecting baby no. 3 with A$AP Rocky, while Ciara shares a son, Future Zahir, with rapper Future, and three kids with husband Russell Wilson.
