Rihanna could have been laughing for a number of reasons, but it's funnier to think she was being shady. What did anyone asking Ariana that question think she was going to say?
Why ask her to explain something she didn't even do?
That's not the full quote. If you listen to it, she says Rihanna talks to her after the performance and was very sweet and told her to "keep doing what you're doing, because it's working."
People are just trying to validate their hate of the Tiny Chanteuse by hoping someone more famous than Ariana consigns them. Give it up.
Rihanna wouldn't laugh at Ariana for doing that stiff dancing. She's a smart lady and she knows her dancing is on par with Ari's so she wouldn't be in a position to laugh.
She was just finding it cute for Ariana... it was different for her... she was feeling herself and most of us giggled the same way...
Rihanna is a bad bitch... but not this time gurls... she wasn't being shady...
Ariana: No, I mean I didn't see her laughing at me, but when I watched it afterwards it looked like she was just shocked because I was doing something different. But afterwards she was so kind to me, she was like, "Lil' mama keep doing what you're doing because it's working." And so I thought it was funny that people tried to make such a commotion out of it when she was just being playful and supportive if anything, so I don't know. People are always trying to make a being deal out of nothing because they're bored.
People are so determined to portray Rihanna as rude and a bitch when she's actually really sweet mostly. She likes ariana and has taken pics with her on several other occasions, follows her on IG and ariana respects her. If she didn't like her she wouldn't even give her the time of day.
Only people rih doesn't like is people who don't seem genuine or have tried her before.
