Rihanna has reached out to a #Girlboss group of Senior Living residents after they recreated her Super Bowl halftime show performance.

A whole squad of residents from Arcadia Senior Living Bowling Green Independent and Assisted Living took to TikTok with a recreation of Rihanna's Super Bowl halftime show performance on 22 February.

Rihanna has since responded to congratulate the 11 residents on their epic recital. Prepare to scream 'Yaas Queens':

We love to see Queens supporting Queens, especially ahead of International Women's Day tomorrow (Wednesday, 8 March) - March also being Women's History month in the UK, US and Australia.

And Rihanna showed her support for the residents of Arcadia Senior Living in Kentucky in the sweetest way.

The 'B***h Better Have My Money' singer sent 100 white roses to the 89 residents - which reportedly arrived at the facility on Saturday, 4 March.

Rihanna also added a note calling the residents' recreation of her Super Bowl halftime performance 'amazing'.

The residents were in complete 'shock' over the flowers and note according to the centre's director of community relations Paige Oakes.

Oakes told BuzzFeed News: "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.

"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."

The Arcadia Senior Living residents' video was uploaded 10 days after the Super Bowl and has since amassed over 30 million views.

Going viral, Rihanna fans were quick to flood to the residents' post in awe of their recreation - the 11 residents even wearing white and red outfits to exactly match the Super Bowl performance.

One wrote: "Better than the half time show."

"Retirement goals," another said.

A third commented: "Whoever the program activity coordinator is needs a raise ASAP."

Another fan of the residents was rapper and record producer Jay-Z.

Rihanna is represented by his agency, Roc Nation, who sent 100 red roses in response to the residents' TikTok video.

Maitlin Nuckols - the retirement home's director of life engagement - who created the TikTok account with Oakes, explained how happy the facility is to see the video go viral and change perceptions of the older generations.

Nuckols said: "Everybody loves to see the older generation letting loose and having fun.

"You always think of the older population in this way, and then I feel like this video just kind of shows a different side of them."
