Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, briefly followed Ankara Airport's official Instagram account, a move that quickly caught the attention of fans and social media users.
No official statement was issued by either the singer or airport management addressing the follow, leaving its purpose unclear.
The unexplained interaction sparked speculation online, with many suggesting it could signal a possible visit to Türkiye or involvement in a project based in the capital.
The rumors circulated briefly before Rihanna unfollowed the account just as quietly as she had followed it, with no explanation offered for either action, leaving the episode as brief as it was mysterious.
The account Rihanna briefly followed belongs to Ankara's newest airport, inaugurated this year under the code ANK to handle domestic, international, VIP and diplomatic flights.
Formerly the military-run Etimesgut Airport, the facility reopened following an eight-month redevelopment intended to ease pressure on Esenboga Airport, Ankara's main gateway.
The opening came ahead of the NATO summit held July 7-8 in the capital, with officials citing a rising number of foreign delegations visiting Ankara as a reason for the expanded capacity. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended the inauguration ceremony.
