21 Times Rihanna Made 2017 Her Bitch

We'll prolly have to update this list in like 5 minutes TBH.

Raise your hand if your head is currently cold AF. It's prolly cuz of the many, many, MANY times Rihanna snatched your wig (and coins) this year.

There's less than a month left until 2018, which is like a lifetime in Rihanna years. So keep this list open ended cuz she'll prolly do a bunch more boss shit between now and then.
