As soon as the winner's name was announced, the journalist tweeted that there was silence as Naatu Naatu announced the winner as people had expected Rihanna to take home the trophy for her song Lift Me Up. His tweet read, "I think everyone was expecting Rihanna or Taylor...".
In no time a section of RRR fans responded to his post.
It wasn't about you, sir. It was a moment from the actual song itself. Naatu Naatu. Just changed it to the current context on a lighter note. Mad respect for Rihanna. Not just for her singing but for her tweet during the farmers protest that rattled the world’s largest democracy https://t.co/fVT7LfEWGo

One user commented, "Not Rihanna, Not Taylor my brother..You know Naatu?" The journalist wrote back, "I do know! I wasn't being cruel, just reporting on the perceived reaction. Im sorry if it seemed otherwise but RRR is a phenomenon and I have no doubt it will spread more, and more people, like those here in the room, will embrace it and the music as days go on."
The journalist then cleared his stance and said, "I do know! I wasn't being cruel, just reporting on the perceived reaction. Im sorry if it seemed otherwise but RRR is a phenomenon and I have no doubt it will spread more, and more people, like those here in the room, will embrace it and the music as days go on."
The composer MM Keeravani received the trophy on stage as his colleagues — director SS Rajamouli, actors — cheered him on from their table.
