Rihanna will not be performing at this year’s Victoria Secret fashion show and it’s not about her money.
Instead, Ellie Goulding will be filling the pop-star’s shoes alongside Selena Gomez and The Weeknd, both who were originally scheduled to appear on the bill.
The announcement comes less than a month after Rihanna’s headlining appearance was confirmed. According to People, a source explained the pop superstar canceled the show to finish her album.
Supermodels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel are all set to grace the Victoria’s Secret fashion show stage alongside Gigi Hadid, who will make her 2015 debut and Lily Aldrige, who will be modeling this year’s $2 million Fantasy Bra.
The show will broadcast on December 8 at 10:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
