The Years and Years singer's life was forever changed when he met Rihanna on The Graham Norton Show in 2018. "Rihanna was so warm and kind and genuine and I got to thank her for being the inspiration of life ❤️ !!! I am never ever coming down from this!!!" Olly tweeted.
He later opened up about what it was like meeting his idol in an interview with Beats 1. "I honestly thought I might faint . . . I also felt that I needed to communicate to her like how intense my love is for her, but in a way that didn't freak her out," Olly explained before adding that Rihanna smells like "dreams and wishes coming true."
