Does anyone have videos of Sex With Me without the bridge? I'm interested how it worked out
She literally just got off the main stage and walked through the crowd singing it. It wasnt anything major other than how close she got to the audience.
Myself, my mother, and my sister got to the arena around 6:30, since we left late due to me finding a ticket for my mom last minute since I only got 2 free ones from ANTIdiaRy. We got to the seats and I got my merch (the Rhenna beanie, white Rhenna pillow, the shirt of Rih in the bottom corner, and the lithograph poster). I originally got everything except the pillow but I snuck back and got it when my mom left to get to her seat. Let’s just say she’s still currently pissed that I spent 20 dollars on a pillow.
We finally go to our seats and I’m RIGHT in front of the B-stage basically. I was Row 5 in section 107 and it was really nice for the intro. I was sat next to this EXTREMELY sexy gay couple where one was a hunky tattooed man and the other was twinky but seemed realllllllll freaky which I was vibing with. My sister was sat next to this older woman and she LOST HER **** to when the DJ started playing his set before Travis.
The DJ, I cannot remember the name, was spectacular though! When he played Formation and ****** in Paris, the whole crowd was JUMPING AND TWERKING. I was doing it as well with the gay couple since apparently they knew about my closeted ass. Also, I was vibing out to a couple tracks from Life of Pablo so that was fun!
Travis came on around 8:00 PM and I really HATE Travis, but honestly he was the perfect opener for Rih. The ENTIRE crowd was up on their feet dancing and it was really awesome to see. His “dancing” around stage literally made me kii so hard! I only knew Antidote so I was just really grooving to random songs haha.
Rih came on at 9:45 and let me tell you gals….. It was PERFECT. I was really against Stay being the opener, but when those first notes played and Rih emerged right in front of us, I literally broke down in tears. Several other people had the same reaction, with the gay couple screaming YASSSSSSSSSSSS RIRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, and even one lady collapsed in the aisle as she was returning to her seat and didn’t realize she was right there. . My favorite reaction was the girl right in front of me who had a whole bunch of Sex With Me merch who would run through the rows and high five everyone all the time. When the DJ first appeared she did, along with Travis, and then when Rih appeared. She then hugged me and was like “This is the best thing EVER to happen to me!” and I just agreed and we stood around and hugged a bit before I went back to recording.
I’ve never liked Love the Way You Lie so I just sat down for that part, but when those first notes of Woo began, I HOPPED up and was going OFF. However, EVERYONE including my 14 year old sister was letting loose to Sex With Me. The girl in front of me that was high fiving threw her YOU KNOW I GOT THE SAUCE into the crowd and like dropped it low and started twerking along with me. We both watched the tour videos because we both dropped to the floor during YA KNOW I GOT THE SAUCE line where Rih does the same.
Birthday Cake was great, but Bitch Better Have My Money left everyone TURNT as the scent of weed filled up my section. I had my backhands ready as me and the other gays were doing choreo. The Goodnight Gotham interlude was visually appealing with the lasers and it was definitely a great way to transition into Consideration. The LYL/AOTL/RTT section wasn’t my favorite since I would have rather had some other album cuts or singles instead of some measly features. Rih gave a cute speech about Chicago before Desperado as well as encouraging us to get the ANTI album even if we had to illegally get it.
Now, it’s time for my favorite act in the show, the one involving Man Down, Rude Boy, Work, Take Care, WFL, and WHYB. The Man Down remix was LIT and the performances of Rude Boy and WHYB reminded me of why I love Rih as much as I do. My sister literally got her LIFE to Work and I personally loved the How Deep Is Your Love / WFL mashup along with the voguing. It gave me Drag Race teas especially with the death drops and outfits.
Needed Me was alright, but the moments of Same Ol’ Mistakes and Diamonds will never be forgotten. I was SHOCKED to see so many people sing to Same Ol’ Mistakes and legitimately grooving, it just goes to show how Rih can do any genre successfully. When Rih had everyone put up their phones and wave it to Diamonds left me speechless and it just was really beautiful honestly.
Her vocals were amazing during Love on the Brain, and Kiss It Better was the perfect closer. I cannot even describe how crazy the crowd got at that moment those first guitar notes played. I’m currently uploading videos and a couple gifs I made from iPhone so stay tuned! It was really an amazing concert and really did show that Rihanna has a lot of talent and has an incredible catalogue of music

Here's my video and pictures!
Loved reading your review! I was there as well and it was everything! I vow to see her every single time she comes now
Her tour is perfection ! The only thing I would change is to add a OG / WMN / S&M and DSTM and remove LYL / AOTL / RTT but we can't have everything ...
They say opposites attract. That would explain the appeal of Rihanna’s Anti World Tour
RiRi’s latest trek isn’t so much the opposite of a tour as it is a tour of opposites: Expected and unexpected. Conventional and unconventional. Anti and antidote, if you will.
a good way to start a night based on yin-yang variety and creative novelty. On the one hand, her show was more mature and less overtly sexual than previous appearances. On the other hand, she’s still Rihanna, so aside from rocking a burqa, there’s only so much tamping down she can do.
After a show as interesting as this, nobody could seriously accuse her of being anticlimactic.
Rihanna exudes a cool that suggests she’s one step ahead of everyone and she doesn’t really have to try. It’s the equivalent of a mic drop followed by the sound of a door slamming as she makes her exit before anyone can react.
And, yes, Rihanna has too many indelible songs to compress into a single concert. She hasn’t released an official greatest hits collection yet, but if she did it would define the last decade the way Madonna did the ‘80s with “The Immaculate Collection” or Mariah Carey’s “Greatest Hits” the ‘90s.
When you title an album “Anti,” you’re declaring that you’re not playing by everyone else’s rules.
Rihanna really isn’t a soul singer — she’s too self-contained for that — but she became one for those few minutes onstage, and it was thrilling.
