Rihanna will no longer be performing at the 2015 Victoria Secret Fashion Show in New York City. The company confirmed the news on Tuesday morning, and also said that Ellie Goulding will be joining the previously announced performers, Selena Gomez and The Weeknd.
Rihanna, who has previously performed at the fashion show in 2012, had to cancel her appearance at the event in order to finish her upcoming album "Anti," reported People.
The news of Rihanna's departure from the show came just after it was announced that models Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner were set to walk the runway for the lingerie company. The "Keeping up with the Kardashian" star and her best friend are joining VS veterans like Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel.
Longtime angel Lily Aldridge was chosen as the lucky model to wear the company's "Fantasy Bra." The bra was priced at $2 million, and it took 685 hours to place the 6,500 gems on it. Aldridge joined other legendary VS models like Tyra Banks, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and Heidi Klum, who all had the honor of wearing the bra.
Last year's Victoria Secret Fashion Show included performances by Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande and Hozier.
This year's event will air on CBS on Tuesday, Dec. 8 10 p.m. ET/PT.
