For those who doubted Rihanna’s ability to draw in a crowd, people will surely be purchasing concert tickets now.
Rih made a stop in Manchester, England during her ANTI World Tour. But one thing any artist can say is you can never predict what the weather will be on the day of your event. The dark clouds and gloomy skies that shed a massive amount of rain in the city left concertgoers soaking wet outside the Emirates Old Trafford Stadium while waiting for her show to begin.
But leave it to Rih to rescue her #Navy. The “Work” singer sent over a team with towels for her fanbase to dry off from the terrible weather.
The Bajan artist also ordered several boxes of pizza as a sign of appreciation to her fans. Before sending them out to those waiting on line, she labeled the boxes with her autograph. And it wasn’t just any ol’ pizza. They were treated to cheese, pepperoni, and ham with pinapple.

Wonder if these are the island girl’s favorite toppings?
After drying off and taking a couple bites before entering the stadium, fans were surprised when treated to DJ Mustard and Big Sean as the opening act of the night. They warmed up the crowd and got them on their toes before presenting what the crowd had been waiting for all day, Rihanna.
Drake later hit the stage with the singer, performing “Work” and his single “One Dance,” which came in on Billboard’s Hot 100 list this week.
Neighboring residents claimed they were able to hear the concert from ten miles away.
