Céline Dion Says That Rihanna’s Love on the Brain Was Meant for Her
Céline Dion is once again reminding fans that her taste in music goes far beyond her own legendary catalog. According to a video she shared on Instagram on Friday, February 6, the singer decided to let people in on what she has been listening to lately, and she did it with plenty of humor.
In the short clip posted to her official account, Dion explained that picking favorite songs is never easy for her. She said there are simply too many. Still, she wanted to highlight a few tracks that have been hitting her hard emotionally right now, and she jumped straight in.
One of the first songs she mentioned was Rihanna’s Love on the Brain. With a smile, Dion joked that that song should’ve been mine, before quickly making it clear that Rihanna absolutely nailed it. The moment felt playful rather than serious, but it showed how deeply Dion connects to powerful, emotional vocals.
She went on to explain that there is something about the feeling behind the song that really speaks to her. According to Dion, she loves music that sounds raw and honest, no matter who is singing it. Rihanna’s performance clearly left a lasting impression on her.
The Instagram video continued with Dion naming several other songs she has been enjoying. She mentioned You Say by Lauren Daigle and Before I Go by Guy Sebastian. While talking about Sebastian, she casually joked about whether he writes songs for other people, hinting that she would not mind working with him someday.
Dion also gave a nod to James Blunt and British singer Celeste. She suggested that she and Celeste should do something creative together in the future. The comments felt spontaneous, like fans were listening to her think out loud rather than deliver a polished promo moment.
The most unexpected part of the video came near the end. Dion revealed that her son Eddy is a huge Metallica fan, which led her to admit she suddenly felt like singing one of their songs. Without hesitation, she launched into a dramatic and funny impression of the band’s gritty vocal style.
The brief Metallica moment quickly became a fan favorite. It showed a lighter side of Dion and proved that she is not afraid to poke fun at herself while still respecting the music. Many fans praised her for being fearless and playful.
This Instagram post followed another recent viral moment from the singer. Earlier this month, Dion shared a What’s in My Bag video that gave fans a peek into her daily essentials. According to that clip, she carries some unexpected items.
One of them was a landline phone, which she joked she uses to call 9-freaking-1-1 when people do not believe she is actually Céline Dion. She also showed off her own VIP concert badge, laughing about how strange it is to need proof of her identity.
Outside of social media, Dion is currently enjoying renewed attention thanks to her 2024 documentary I Am: Celine Dion. The film gave fans a closer look at her life, health struggles, and strength, and it was widely praised for its honesty.
There has also been growing talk of a new Las Vegas residency. While nothing has been officially confirmed, rumors suggest she may return to the stage at Resorts World later this year. Fans are also hopeful for new music, especially with the 30th anniversary reissue of Falling Into You set for release on June 12.
Would you want to hear Céline Dion actually record a Metallica cover or even take on a full rock project in the future? Share your thoughts in the comments.
