A whole 18 years ago, Robyn Rihanna Fenty was a 17-year-old girl living in Barbados.
Today, we know her as rockstar royalty one of the world’s most widely loved music icons.
Apparently, the star will not get on stage without some preshow rituals to cool her nerves.

Rihanna smiled as DeGeneres read the list, saying, “I just like to be prepared.
You never know what you’re going to be into that day.”
Therefore, she ensures there is no shortage of snacks aboard, which we find rather practical.

But our best guess is that it would be a smidge anxiety-inducing.
She told Esquire, “I have to have it.
I take it very seriously, so there is a level of anxiety, always.”

Rihanna told Esquire, “Sometimes I go out into the audience.
I put on a really big hoodie and sneak out there.”
