Rihanna ANTI World Tour Review

March 30, 2016 

Rihanna ANTI World Tour at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. 


Missed the opening act - Travis Scott and missed some of the opening performance. But from what I did get to experience it was a pretty good show. 

The stage set up was appealing. It was a white stage, with abstract prop's and lighting. There was something that looked like a worm on stage, that would change colors. She also had foam falling from downstage which gave the look of clouds. 

Rihanna's band was fantastic. Her guitarist had the best guitar solo I've ever witnessed. She did make a joke about her band that I hope was truly just a joke. She said, "thank God they all can play instrument's because they ugly as shit." Funny? Kinda. 

Rihanna is the kind of performer that doesn't go "all out."
She's more of a minimal kind of performer. 
We all know Riri can sing and dance, but she doesn't do it all at the same time throughout her performance. 

Throughout the show she would stop to dance and stop dancing to sing. Back and forth. She always had the mic in her hand. She doesn't go hard hitting on the moves. She's just goes with it. 

Hey, maybe she just doesn't like to dance too much. 
There wasn't choreography for every song which allowed her to focus more on the singing.

Riri was in her own zone and danced freely to the beat. Her songs are all so different. She has her party  tracks, then she has her urban tracks, rock tracks, r&b tracks, etc. etc.  

She gave a nice shout out to Brooklyn and shared how her grandfather was at the show that evening. He used to live in Brooklyn and always shopped at Kings Plaza. The crowd cheered with appreciation.  

Rihanna is a versatile artist and she keeps pushing the envelope. 
I had a great time watching this show. Riri has an amazing team with lot's of talent. She also seems like a fun person to just hang out with. Free spirited and doesn't give a damn. 

And might I add, her outfits were on point!
