Rihanna is all about the blue!
While walking the blue carpet in a sheer baby blue Chanel look at the Smurfs world premiere in Brussels on June 28, the singer, 37, revealed that her go-to karaoke song is seemingly inspired by her latest role.
Speaking to U.K. radio station Capital FM at the premiere, the pregnant star, who voices Smurfette in the movie, shared her top pick when it comes to taking to the mic.
"Ohhhh!" she said as she thought about her answer and placed her hand on the side of her head. "Oh my gosh, it's, it's, it's … maybe 'Burning Blue' by Mariah the Scientist," she continued with a laugh.
The track, which was released in May and premiered its music video on May 8, is the lead single from the R&B singer's upcoming fourth studio album, according to Billboard. It peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Thanks to the Smurfs movie, fans of the Barbadian musician got to hear new music from the star in the form of "Friend of Mine."
The catchy, synth-heavy song features lyrics about friendship and a music video filled with psychedelic graphics, bright colors and dancing Smurfs, including Rihanna as Smurfette.
At the film's world premiere, Rihanna, who also produces the movie, was joined by her partner A$AP Rocky.
The Fenty Beauty founder dressed her baby bump in a flowy Chanel chiffon top and skirt, with the top featuring a sheer center section that revealed her belly. The look took 840 hours to make, according to the fashion brand.
