She rose to international prominence and became a household name with the release of her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), and its chart-topping lead single "Umbrella." The album and its 2008 Reloaded version were nominated for nine Grammy Awards, winning Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Umbrella".

It was followed by three Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified platinum albums: Loud (2010), Talk That Talk (2011), and her first Billboard 200 number-one album Unapologetic (2012). The same year, she appeared in her first theatrical feature film, Battleship.
