If you load 70 cases of champagne alone,
forget the cognac, onto a plane,
you're just going to one country,
I could tell you that's gonna
go off the rails.
Seven countries, add the cognac,
add the no sleep, everything else,
you're surprised?
I wanted to do a seven show tour
in seven countries in seven days,
and do it on a 777 plane.
It was 150 press room,
eighty-two countries,
50 fans from around the world,
it was all about letting them really see
how she lives her life.
We're all in the same plane together
like one big tour.
I pictured like a hot tub on the plane,
nothing, and filled with champagne,
things like that.
We were taking off on a plane,
I said this is our seventh album.
We're ready to start
mobilizing that way.
About to take this seventh album
in seven years, and maybe we do
seven shows.
I was packing this morning,
I was laughing.
You really did this?
Thought this was so fucking smart?
I just can't wait.
Like, I just looking in there,
and I see like a couple of my people.
I know this is gonna be an experience
of a lifetime, like, it's gonna be
unlike anything we've ever experienced.
As I understand it,
there aren't any hotels.
There's no down time
in order to get one.
Let's go.
First stop is Mexico.
Being around a tour
is something that I've never experienced,
and what goes on to put a show on
like this, the intensity,
the logistics of it.
All of the equipment, the fueling,
the planning, authorizations to land,
the over flight for us, you know,
it's just a grueling, you know, schedule.
Really?
I mean, I've been there before on a cruise,
but nothing like this.
There's tequila, and that's what
I'm looking forward to.
Get drunk.
Wait.
Hello, hello?
Everybody look in their gift bags,
and look for the little piece of string.
There's a real diamond on there.
You can never say you never had
a diamond in your life.
I can't wait for it, to be honest.
I think this is probably gonna be
one of my favorite things
that I've ever done.
Flight attendants, please
take your jump seats
in preparation for takeoff.
Thank you.
She always tells me,
you know, "let's not do
what we already did 'cause
we already written that.
Let's try to do something
else for the future
that creates new history."
It's the first step on that plane,
this is really where the work begins.
Ladies and gentlemen,
there is an emergency.
Code seven fucking seven seven.
All right, guys, whose ready to hit it?
Champagne, cognac, anyone?
All ready the alcohol is flowing,
the ace of spades is flowing.
So I'm a little worried.
There's a little hesitation,
but I think overall it's gonna be
the thrill of a lifetime.
What's up, Japan?
- Brazil?
- All right, who wants it?
We love Brazil.
More Australia?
I need to serve some drinks, man.
Yeah, boy, I like it
Love it when you talk that
Haven't even gotten to the first place,
and we're having a fucking blast.
- It's crazy.
- We found out
like on Friday that we were coming,
so it was like super last
minute and we were like,
"Yeah, we'll do it, we'll be there."
The real bit is back there
with contest winners.
You're not gonna find contest winners
on the Led Zeppelin plane,
you know what I mean?
This is weird, it's like, only they won.
And I don't think I'm
gonna get used to this.
I don't think it's something I'm gonna
get used to.
Woo-hoo!
Yeah!
Man, I feel like I'm on Soul Plane.
Have you seen Soul Plane?
Yeah, we only got shots left.
Flight attendants, we're just about
five minutes from landing.
Five minutes from landing.
Everyone, please take your seats.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Mexico City.
If we can have everyone
please stay in your seats
until the captain has parked
the aircraft at the gate.
It was a pleasure serving
each and every one of you
on board our flight, and please enjoy
the rest of the evening.
Thank you.
Bye, guys.
Take a look where we at right there.
It is now 7:15 p.m.
Rihanna is supposed to go
on at what time, Anna?
- Nine.
- Nine p.m.
- Omar.
- Adam.
Adam.
Adam Blackstone.
- Chris.
- I'm Chris.
The Nuno Duarte Gil Mendes Bettencour.
It's TBD.
We don't know where it is.
DJ's left behind.
Mexico City has not
seen her perform in years.
They're starved for her
as it is so to be able
to just do an exclusive show,
I can't even imagine
what's gonna happen outside the building,
and, you know, not being able
to get tickets, it's gonna be
pretty crazy, I think.
We'll probably won't go on stage
- until about, I predict...
- Past curfew.
Twelve o'clock p.m., that's past curfew.
And the the flight's supposed to take off
at Toronto, the next trip,
at twelve.
- No, it's a good phone.
- You're crazy.
- I'm serious.
- That's blasphemous.
Yeah, that is blasphemous, actually.
- It's a good one.
- Let me see.
That's the screen is just big.
This is what Van's talking about.
No music.
We hate music.
There's no sound check.
- Where's the bathroom?
- Right inside.
To all of you just coming.
Leave your stuff right there.
We are waiting for bags right now.
We are waiting for makeup,
we're waiting for hair,
we're waiting for all the clothes,
every last bit of it.
True story.
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella, ella, -
We love her.
- Yes.
- Very much.
She's beautiful.
Love you.
Do you have tickets?
Please, please, please, we want.
Yes, we really want.
Thank you, thank you.
I'm like ready to go.
Our bags just got here.
And show time was five minutes ago.
Walking to stage, walking to stage.
Clear a path, guys.
It's perfect.
Quickly, quickly.
We got a plane to catch.
We pray that you look over
us this next seven days,
plus the show tonight, plus Ri's voice,
plus the band, in Your Name we pray, amen.
Amen.
Uno, dos, tres.
777, Mexico!
I see you walk
Na, na, na

I like Rihanna, I love Rihanna.
This is the first time we see Rihanna.
She was amazing.
She was amazing.
We loved her!
Loco, loco, sick, man, crazy.
I love Rihanna.
I'm real sweat everything,
but she was worth it.
I can't describe the feeling
I'm feeling right now.
This is the best day of my life.
You are flawless, Rihanna.
I'll get the trunk case in a minute.
Hang on, let me get this
bass drum head off.
Just lay these stands down here.
Senora, , purple, purple.
It's all the way against the wall.
Up there, then the big drum.
Are you planning to sleep on the plane
by the way?
Yeah.
So you're not gonna party,
is that not a go?
Not tonight, and when we
have a good show tomorrow,
and everything's... then
we'll crack a bottle.
Until then I gotta go rest myself,
and make sure we got all the details
for tomorrow are perfect.
Today was one of the first times
she came into the dressing room
after the show, and was just like,
came to talk to the band.
Not that she doesn't
do that in a, you know,
in a sort of snobby way.
It's just that we're... there's always some
other part of the arena, and today she came
running into the dressing room,
like, almost like,
I think she felt like
there was a band, you know?
Like a little bit of chemistry going on.
When you're a solo artist,
you're always like,
doing your own thing, you're not
really part of a band,
so for her to be like, part of the band,
chemistry and everything,
I think it was very cool.
I think she felt that tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are ready for departure.
Our flying to Toronto this evening will be
four hours and fifteen minutes.
You have experienced a crew change.
We will be with you for
the duration of your tour.
It's our pleasure having you with us,
and welcome.
Well, she's one single away
from Michael Jackson at this point.
It's incredible the mechanism
that goes to work behind her,
and you certainly can't discount that,
and that doesn't really
take away from her talent,
because if you put a regular human
in that position, they would simply be
like a pile of quivering flesh
within hours, you know?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Canada.
We've just arrived at
the Toronto International Airport.
The local time here is
10 minutes after the hour
of nine a.m.
There has been a one hour time change.
I napped, power napped.
Without stretching my
legs along my plane seat.
Dave, one.
See you tomorrow.
Yeah.
I was coughing on the plane.
This entire trip, in order to make
it to the end, you have to
literally nurse yourself
every step of the way.
One flight alone is bad enough.
Seven of them, I could care less
about coughing and blowing my nose
if my voice is there.
If my voice has been affected
then what the fuck?
That's all I got.
I'm Poppy, I dress Rihanna,
and I work with her stylists, Mel and Adam.
I did the Loud tour, I've done all
the summer festival tours this year.
So yeah, I've been around
for the craziness for awhile,
Nothing quite as crazy as this.
It's always been a big spectacle.
Like last year we had eight dancers.
We had like a big five person band,
whereas this time, obviously,
it's much more intimate.
Last year on the Loud tour
we carried 24 wardrobe cases,
but now on this tour, we've got no cases.
We can't carry everything like that,
so we've got like giant duffle bags
that have got stuff in,
and there's like people
dragging stuff around.
She recorded a whole album
when we were on the tour last year
at the same time.
She is one of the hardest
working artists, like,
I've ever come across.
I mean, she just doesn't stop.
She's absolutely gorgeous.
She's a beautiful artist, she's great.
We can't talk too loud because
there's someone behind us.
It's a surprise, they don't know
that they're here to see you.
She has a wristband,
no idea who the artist is,
what event, it's a complete a surprise.
777, yo.
Second show in, it's already
feeling a little brutal.
We actually got two hours
of sleep in a bed.
Only thing that'll make sense is fun
because we'll be delirious the entire time.
Mexico was good last night,
but tonight, night number two.
Every night has to go higher,
you know what I'm saying?
777, Toronto!
Na, na, na, come on
Na, na, na, come on
Na, na, na, come on
Na, na, na, come on, come on, come on
Na, na, na, na
Feels so good being bad
There's no way I'm turning back
Now the pain is my pleasure
'cause nothing could measure
Love is great, love is fine
Out the box, outta line
The affliction of the feeling
leaves me wanting more
'Cause I may be bad,
but I'm perfectly good
Sex in the air, I don't care
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
Sing!
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips
Na, na, na, come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
S, S, S, and M, M, M
S, S, S, and M, M, M
S, S, S, and M, M, M
S, S, S, and M, M, M
I thought that was totally stiff.
You know when you're totally and it's like,
I need to like, bend almost,
like a little, more like.
Just lost my voice singing with her.
It was so much fun.
This was my first concert ever.
We love you!
I got her shot glass.
This is Brooklyn Decker,
one of the baddest,
white bitches in the world.
Seriously, look at, no,
here, look at her tits.
I want these.
Stop it!
They're real.
We missed this.
You know, it's a sense
of like, I don't know, man.
And you don't know what's gonna happen.
You go up and everything's tight,
the stage is tight, and we're doing
these shows with her has been amazing,
because it's like, it's minus
all the bells and whistles.
You gotta see what you really got.
It's just you turn a microphone
on some instruments,
and that's when you see
if people really have what it takes.
That's a nice one.
You're amazing.
Yes.
Yeah, we are but...
Ladies and gentlemen, you're next stop
on the 777 tour will be Stockholm.
Airtime today, six hours and 45 minutes.
From your flight crew, welcome on board,
it's nice to have you back.
This was just, you know,
basically supposed to be about fun,
celebrating the seventh album,
seventh year,
and I'm sure a lot
of people met each other,
and people probably made some friends
off of that plane, and probably friends
for life.
I met people from all around the world.
Just getting to know the media,
and seeing how they... how they work,
and seeing Rihanna do this,
'cause I don't know any other artist
that would charter an aircraft this large
and put this many people on the aircraft,
and travel with her.
It is actually fairly unique, really.
If anything it compares
to the sort of brutal
touring schedules of like '70s Aerosmith
and Zeppelin when suddenly it made sense
to be on a plane.
But keeping in mind there's what?
Forty people on that plane maybe?
Twenty-five and 10 are groupies.
This is an operation
that was I think unique,
and should remain so.
Welcome to Stockholm.
We're taxing to a remote gate.
You will be going down some air stairs,
so watch your step going down.
Temperature's a little bit
warmer than our forecast.
It's about 40, 42 degrees,
and we certainly hope
you enjoyed your flight.
We'll see you tomorrow.
As soon as I found out that
she was coming here I ran.
My best friend calls me,
and she's like, "Yeah,
we'll... we have free tickets,
you have to go."
And I'm like, "I'm
literally five minutes away."
Rather special for Stockholm to be
one of the seven cities.
My God, I love Rihanna.
I love her style, I love her music,
I love everything about her.
I do think she's one of like
the top three major artists
in the world right now.
We're usually sleeping,
and to get up nice and early
to serve the flight, the seven day tour,
but it's gonna be kind of
difficult tomorrow morning,
but we're gonna make it happen.
I've been everywhere, man
Looking for someone
Someone who can please me
Love me all night long
I've been everywhere, man
Looking for you, babe
Looking for you, babe
Searching for you, babe
Where have you been
'Cause I never see you out
Are you hiding from me, yeah?
Somewhere in the crowd
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Where have you been
All my life
All my life
Where have you been all my life
Where have you been all my life
Where have you been all my life
You can have me all you want
Any way, any day
Show me where you are tonight
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been everywhere, man
Someone who can please me
I've been everywhere
Looking for you, babe
Looking for you, babe
Searching for you, babe
Thank you.
Like I'm a DJ, I play all of her songs,
all the times.
It's like sometimes I even have to be,
"Shit, I just played Rihanna.
I can't play Rihanna one more time."
'Cause I'm super excited,
I'm like here by random,
but I feel like I'm a celebrity because I'm
treated like one, and it's amazing.
I'm enjoying it, it's quite
a rigorous schedule,
like, we've been at the airports.
I don't want to see another
airport for a long time to come.
But overall I think it's an opportunity
of a lifetime, it's one of those things
in your career that years later when
you're asked what have been the highlights,
this is definitely one of the things
that'll have top on my list.
Sweden is a bit of a break from
what we've just gone through...
gone through with this crazy,
like, LA, Mexico, Toronto,
and now we get to Sweden, we can breathe.
So I feel that everyone's really
just enjoying themselves, taking it all in.
Well, the after party is gonna have
to wait a minute, we've lost her clothes.
I've given her my t-shirts
out of my personal bag.
Tried to convince her,
but it's not working.
I found a dress in my backpack
that's too short.
It's not working, but we're trying.
I think we're wheels up
at 10 a.m. tomorrow,
so almost four a.m. and we
still haven't made the club.
We're trying to make the best of it, 777,
seven minutes of sleep,
seven hours of work.
And the clothes made it!
Let's not bullshit, yo.
Stockholm was dope.
I feel great about that.
It was awesome.
Now we drink.
Tonight, this is the first night
we actually get to spend the night
in the city, so there's a club
built into this venue.
We're gonna just walk down the stairs,
and party for like an hour or something,
and then go back home,
rest for a couple hours,
get on the plane, and next,
city number four, which will be Paris.
Pretty much after every show
we have an after party,
an after party to celebrate
the party of the show.
You now, it's a celebration
with your fans and the press,
and you don't normally get to do that.
The next day on the plane,
they were a little worn out,
they were a little tired.
I blame Jay for the world
of pain I'm now in.
Threw up twice on the bus.
The band was awesome, they were good to us.
Thank you, Chris Johnson.
Chris Dave is his name.
No, his name tag says...
They're obviously a little tipsy still
from the after party.
Feeling great today,
I had great fun last night.
Tequila, tequila for everybody,
and she was just like she was on the plane,
- handing them out to everybody...
- I feel great because I drank
a lot of water, so I'm not dehydrated.
Last night was amazing, It's
gon' be even better tonight.
We headin' to Paris,
lookin' forward to it, fo' sho'.
I don't deserve to be feeling
any where near as good as
I have been, I had five hours
sleep last night,
but because for this entire tour
I've had no sleep whatsoever
I think my body thought, "Five
hours, yes, this is heaven."
I'm a little tired, but we
makin' it happen four days in.
Today's a rough one, I'm tired.
It is day four
of Rihanna Plane.
Nobody has, been eaten alive.
We're here,
we are awake,
and we are on our way to Paris.
Rihanna had ideas about how
this was going to work.
Record company had their ideas.
We have to put the plan
into action to make sure
it was doable.
One thing... a dotted "I" or a crossed "t"
is missing on the manifest you have
to adapt to it, you have to be flexible,
you have to be nimble,
and yet safe and by the rules
and the pilots need their proper
rest and tens of thousands
of people apply for this job as
flight attendants,
and only the best get in,
you know, the number one pilot
in seniority in
the entire fleet of Delta is
the captain of our plane.
We're working with the best,
we were working with
the best management company already.
It's like a, you know,
it's like a rock and roll
jet set tour bus with wings.
It's been amazing, I don't think
it's ever been done.
We are so unapologetic
because you know what?
This is exciting, it's
a once-in-a-lifetime experience,
I'm so sorry that you missed
out, but next time you gotta
search harder, never,
ever stop chasing your dreams
because this is truly a dream.
We just landed and, um,
waiting for bags, it's all waiting.
I just use this time to chat to the ladies.
Generally when you meet someone you say,
"Hello, how are you?
What's your name?"
It was a "Hello" first.
It was completely
overshadowed by what you said.
What'd you say?
We should make a baby.
Yes, I met the..
I met Tim on the plane,
that's his name, I'll put him out there,
and, you know,
when we first met he said
we're gonna have a baby together, so...
I think it's pretty dope.
Generally girls react really well to that.
Generally it's a fantastic
conversation starter.
And then I think I said,
"I've actually never met
a black lady before."
That was an amazing idea,
we would have beautiful kids.
I don't think I do well with travel.
Like, when I get a little bit tired...
there's not filter to begin with...
Last night was a disaster.
Look, five years from now
you'll pull out this footage,
and when we're married, and you're like,
"Look, we got the first
exclusive of this couple."
Should I just not talk to anyone anymore?
Just inside voice, I think, a filter.
Wait, where are you taking that?
Okay, to the same vehicle
as now, okay, yup.
I feel like everyone's kind of exhausted.
I think they have a greater appreciation
for Rihanna and artists
in general and what they do
because of all the runnin'
around and you don't
really get to see the cities
because, you know,
they have to go to rehearsal,
and to the stage
and then back on the plane,
so I think that's the good thing
about this whole tour.
From venue to venue, man,
we're doing back lined kits
at ever place,
so we have a tech going there,
setting up ahead of time,
making it ready for me
and everybody else,
so we can simply jet in,
take care of the final details,
and rock it.
The drums don't go,
it's all the little bits
like the digital stuff,
the cymbals, all the things that
we can't just get in any city
that are specific.
Those travel with us,
and basically we toss 'em
in a truck and rock and roll it, man.
Put a little back into it, get 'er done.
Number.
Setting up the floor?
Wow.
Chyeah, Rihanna
Good girls gone bad
Where my real Rihanna fans at... hey, hey!
Seven, seven, seven, Paris!
You had my heart,
and we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines,
but you'll still be my star
Baby 'cause in the dark
you can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you, I'll always share
Because
...We shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
I said I'll always be your friend
And I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
'Cause you can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella ella, ay, ay, ay
Under my umbrella,
ella, ella, ay, ay, ay
Under my umbrella,
ella, ella, ay, ay, ay
Under my umbrella, ella, ella,
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
These fancy things
will never come in between
You're part of my entity,
here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard,
together we'll... hey, hey
Because when the sun shines,
we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
And I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella, ella, ay, ay, ay
Under my umbrella,
ella, ella, ay, ay, ay
Under my umbrella,
ella, ella, ay, ay, ay
Under my umbrella, ella, ella,
ay, ay, ay...
Paris!
You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed,
come in to me
There's no distance in between our love
And say my name some more
I'll be all you need and more
And more, and more
Because when the sun shines,
we'll shine together
I told you I'll be here forever
I said I'll always be your friend
I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
'Cause you can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Ella, ella, ay, ay, ay
Under my umbrella,
ella, ella, ay, ay, ay
Under my umbrella,
ella, ella, ay, ay, ay
Under my umbrella, ella, ella,
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
It's raining, it's raining
It's raining
Come in to me
Come in to me
A little sleepy, voice really raspy,
and... with a smile on his face.
Ha-ha, look at that.
That's the smile of success,
that means swallow it up.
We were very close to her,
so it was really nice to see her
performing the show.
One of the most amazing
performers around now a days.
Choreography, the video clips
and everything.
More like visual we like.
I'm gonna go to the club
even though I really shouldn't
be going to the club,
I should be going to bed,
but, um...
I don't know, it's Paris, I guess,
so... I gotta go to the club.
We'll see.
I've never done this before.
I've been doing magazines for a long time,
a lot of editorial ad campaigns... print.
When I got hired to do the tour
I'd done one live
performance in my fucking life,
so I really didn't know about
functionality of anything,
really, and I have Adam,
who's my main designer
and my partner in crime,
for all this Rihanna stuff,
and he knows her body better than anyone.
Some of what we've done on this
trip I've never had those kind
of clothes or shoes
for a performance ever before.
Last night...
it was just amazing, and this album,
it's a very, very good album,
and I'm really proud of my tattoo.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
and, once again, welcome aboard.
We'll be parting to the east,
upper runway nine right.
Flight time to Berlin will be approximately
one hour and fifteen minutes.
Weather conditions,
overcast, sky's temperature
is 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once again, welcome aboard.
Just binge drinkin'.
Tryin' to get through the week.
We got three more, people.
Three.
I did hear that she told you guys that
anything could happen.
How much am I failing to woo you?
I don't know, your energy level
is so much lower than yesterday.
Yeah.
What did... did you like
yesterday's energy level?
'cause I can turn it back on, baby.
I've never had an experience where you fly
with the same people for seven days,
so, you know, they become friends.
It's nice.
Sweet Necole
You came into my life
I didn't know that women could be so...
- Fine.
- Good one, yeah.
I'm exhausted, I'm sick.
I don't even know what day it is
anymore, I just know that we're
here and where we're goin'.
We were in the city
of love last night, Paris.
We could have gone to the Eiffel Tower.
I spent it with this idiot.
I took advantage of my sleep,
other people partied,
so I'm feelin' good today.
Um... tonight is just straight from
the venue to the plane, so it's
gonna be another episode.
If I was with you would you have gone
to dinner with me?
Yes.
Now these trips become shorter,
now they're an hour or two hours
or three hours, so your sleep
time is a little shorter, and so
when you sit there and you think
this is easy as like, "Okay,
hey, we're gonna get out, we're
gonna perform, we're stayin'
here, we're gonna sleep,
we're gonna do whatever."
That's not really what
happens most of the time,
you know, there's a lot of
sacrifices to do what you
want to do, but you love it,
so that's why you do it.
At least people get to see through her eyes
that it's not as easy,
and it's actually pretty hard.
Behind me now
Rihanna is about to go on tour,
so the excitement is building
here in Berlin...
Paris... Stockholm, where are we,
I don't know where we are?
Here's the problem, we're
in B party, but there's another
party of press people, they're
absolutely wowed-up by how much
access we have, and so desperate
they're interviewing each other
- about their new looks...
- I've heard a lot journalists
sayin' they're gettin' upset
'cause they haven't got
time with her... it doesn't
matter, if you don't have access
to Rihanna, that's fine, there's
so many people around Rihanna.
Don't wait for the story
to fall on your lap.
Berlin's actually very cool.
There's a lot of art here,
a lot of great artists,
great restaurants,
the highways are really flat.
Good techno.
Good techno.
Is that a brand of cheese, what is that?
I love her, I adore her, I want her now!
I know, I know, thank you so much.
We are both fashion journalists,
and we love her sense of style.
You can be from hip hop or R&B,
but you can be also like keeping up
with all the super models.
I wonder how much time we have.
Well, for you to see an artist
take an airplane and fill it
up with press and with fans and,
you know, all the executives
and our management team, I mean,
it's amazing to see that,
and the way it is today with technology,
I mean, the fans are so much
more weighing in to,
"How do you get new things
happening, what's going on?"
Doing all these things,
and I think by constantly
serving them with great music, you know,
it just sets that tone.
Seven, seven, seven!
Want you to make me feel
like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one
that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who
knows your heart, only...
I want you to love me,
like I'm a hot ride
Be thinkin' of me, doin' what you like
So, boy, forget about the world
it's gon' be me and you tonight
I'm wanna make your bed for ya,
I'ma make you swallow your pride
Want you to make me feel
like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one
that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only
one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that's in command
'Cause I'm the only one who understands
how to make you feel like a man, yeah
Want you to make me feel
like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only
one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only
one who knows your heart
Only one
Take me for a ride, ride
Baby, take me high, high
Let me make you rise, rise
Make it last all night, night
Take me for a ride, ride
Baby, take me high, high
Let me make you rise, rise
Gon' make it last all night
Want you to make me feel
like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only
one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only
one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that's in command
'Cause I'm the only one who understands
how to make you feel like a man
Only girl in the world
Girl in the world
Only girl in the world
Girl in the world
I have a lot of things
to go over with you, we have
a lot of updates in flight
changes and notes.
Just got our driver... driver, guys!
Yay!
Dunna-dun-na, dun-na
What's gonna happen is
when we land in London
there'll be four buses.
Two buses will say Grosvenor Hotel
and the other two
buses will say St. Martins Lane.
My God, we have more tequila!
Tequila!
Yes!
We need everyone to bring their
luggage downstairs by 3:45pm.
Touch it, it's the milk, it's
the milk, semi skimmed milk.
There will be an option
to go to the Westfield Outdoor.
Shopping Centre where Rihanna will be
turning on their whole
Christmas light display.
It's a big deal, it's a lot of fun.
I've done it a lot of times before.
You are fuckin'... you lot are
fuckin' wicked, wicked, wicked.
Good night, everybody!
I mean, this tour's about music,
and I just wanted to create
some music, and I've been
getting hate... this hate mail
coming my way like this.
All I just wanted to do was just
provide some music,
some entertainment, some light heartedness.
Look, it's been tough, there's
been a lot of travel.
I was just tryin' to do my bit.
We're now in Berlin,
we've still got to go to London.
I'm not goin'... my head's not gonna touch
a pillow until New York.
Stop, stop, paparazzi, stop it.
No, paparazzi, my God,
stop it, paparazzi.
Stop it, film me,
film me, stop it, stop it.
Film me, film me, stop it.
Film me, stop it, stop it, stop...
I don't know if there's
ever been the word mutiny
and on a pop tour.
I don't feel like that's been ever
really come up, you know.
Certainly not, like,
a chanting, ominous, you know.
Na, na, what's my name?
Na, na, what's my name?
Rihanna, what's my name?
Na, na, what's my name?
Rihanna, what's my name?
Na, na, what's my name?
Rihanna, what's my name?
Just one quote!
Just one quote!
Just one quote!
I need a headline!
I need a headline!
Interview, interview!
Interview!
Why was it so absolutely explosive?
Because it's been a slow fuse
this whole time.
Writers just need a little inspiration,
and there it was.
In the form of a naked Australian.
As I'm sure it has been many times before.
He asked me if I would pay
him to streak and I said,
"Yes, of course,
who's not going to pay you?"
And then it just kind of
happened, and then he went to
the bathroom, he came out naked
and I was like,
"Shit, I owe him money,
I don't even have any money,"
so a little bit nervous,
but he's not asking
for anything, so I'm good.
And after, you know, a few days of not much
crazy news-worthy things going on
this was pretty welcome
in a news-gatherer's eyes,
so right now, you know,
tracking it so it's censored
for the public's viewing pleasure.
We have a wifi hotspot.
Try to upload it as soon as we land.
That's we've been doing
with all these videos
that we've been cutting for the tour,
so this one will be no different.
As soon as I land I'm going to have to
call my mom.
She always thought there
was something wrong with me.
People were just expressing
mass discontent and craziness.
A combination of jet lag.
Too many late night flights.
Maybe too little meals a day.
And everyone's just going crazy.
Why?
I don't know, I just thought
we all needed a laugh.
I...I think he's crazy,
I don't know what else to...
I think you're crazy in love.
I wanna... I didn't get
a good view of the front.
Can you do it again?
It just woke us all up and put
us all in a different state,
you know, now we're happy again,
laughing at ourselves.
Please, we were all done.
We were ready to jump.
Welcome to London, local time here 4:38.
Just gonna ask you to remain
in your seats until we have
come to a stop at the gate,
I said it before,
once we have reached the gate
we're going to ask you
just please remain in your
seats, remain on board until
we have unloaded some
of the bags downstairs.
We're going to have these bags
unloaded as quickly as possible,
and have you on your way.
Just feels like London's,
you know, her second home
outside of Barbados.
Um, the London was big for us because...
it was the day the album
was bein' released worldwide.
We're about to go
turn on the Christmas lights.
To switch them over to Christmas season.
It's really cold.
I have to perform this time
which is different, so we're going to do
a performance before our performance.
Stay warm.
Hey, baby.
Rihanna, to your far right then.
Yeah, work it, baby.
No!
Everyone, make some noise!
This the one and only, Rihanna!
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Find light in the beautiful
sea, I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I,
we're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star,
I see a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive,
we're like diamonds in the sky
I knew that we'd become one
right away, right away
At first sight, I felt
the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful,
like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful,
like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond,

Shine bright like a diamond,

Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful,

Palms rise to the universe
as we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we'll never die
We're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star,
I see a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky
I knew that we'd become one right away
'Cause I saw the light inside of you
Tonight, you and I
We're beautiful,
like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful,
like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond,
shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful,
like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond,
shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful,
like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond,

Shine bright like a diamond
So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful

Shine bright like a diamond,
shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Yeah, shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond,
shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond,
Alex, Alex!
She's resting... she's probably asleep.
How many hours, total?
I got five today, that's probably my max.
I got zero in the last 48 hours.
Hey, when are we on, anybody here know,
anybody get a word?
Nine.
Nine forty-seven.
Right, we all in?
Now you can take your pictures.
Cool, everybody bow their heads.
Dear God, we just wanna say thank You
one more time, thank You
for gettin' us here safe,
thank You for another successful show,
bless Rihanna's voice, the singers, band,
production, everybody involved,
and let us glorify You in all we do.
Amen and praises.
Amen, amen!
777, London!
All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot-headed believer
I threw my hands in the air,
I said show me something
He said, if you dare,
come a little closer
Round and around and around
and around we go
Now, tell me now, tell me
now, tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like
I can't live without you
It takes me all the way,
I want you to stay
It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something
you take, it's given
Round and around and around
and around we go
Now, tell me now, tell me
now, tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like
I can't live without you
It takes me all the way,
I want you to stay
Ooh, the reason I hold on
Ooh, cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one
But I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light
It's hard to know which one
of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like
I can't live without you
It takes me all the way,
I want you to stay
Stay...
I want you to stay, ooh
Thank you, London.
I'm starting... Day Seven
has officially started.
No shit, I made it.
All right, first things first, shoes off.
Definitely, that crowd was amazing.
That crowd was down!
Can I have some curry?
Curry, love, curry.
But no coconut milk this time.
You know I know how to cook, you know?
I know my ingredients.
You put nutmeg in my pasta yesterday.
Gonna do some stewed beef,
some chicken-fried rice,
stuff like that.
Seven days, seven different countries.
Not a lot of artists would do that.
Aw, aw!
I think right now, I'm just delirious,
just floating around
on... generated energy.
It's all exhausting
like, you know, and then
I still have to like,
cater to everybody else
and plus, these flights,
and the two hours that I have to sleep,
the press wants me
to go back there and talk.
I don't have a voice, and then,
if I talk for the two hours
that I have to sleep,
then I don't really have
a voice for the next city,
and it's seven countries, so...
I'm tryin' to balance that, you know?
I can't make everybody happy,
but at the ending, if my fans are happy,
that's all I fucking care about, so...
My God, she was amazing.
You know, she sounded
so on fire... amazing.
Love her.
She's just naturally very sexy, talented,
and then the other side of her is,
she seems like a very
down-to-earth, gracious person.
I think that's a very
potent cocktail to have,
and I think you need to achieve goals,
be passionate, take risks, be smart,
be not afraid to fail, occasionally,
because that happens.
I just know, as a performer,
there's nothing else, nothing else is like
what she would have felt on stage tonight,
and every night she performs.
I didn't want people to start takin' me
as a gimmick or a joke,
or feel like I'm just puttin' out music
so I could, you know, eat.
You know, I really love
makin' music, I enjoy it.
"Stay," I think, is one of my
favorite songs I've ever heard.
Like, I would, I would think the same thing
if it wasn't mine, 'cause
I felt that way from the demo.
I never even knew
genres of music, you know?
Only when I came here
did people start putting
a title on me, like, "Yeah, you're pop,
yeah, you're pop, " or " You'll be great
to be pop," or "You should stay urban."
And it's like?
How 'bout... I didn't even know
that that mattered.
Like, I thought everybody just
played songs that were great.
I think a rock star is more of an attitude,
so even if you make pop music,
or pop fans love you,
they'll always see you as a rock star
because of who you are,
and how comfortable you are
with being that.
- What is the time?
- It's about that time.
The 777 Tour bus is leaving now.
Get on the bus.
Like, London is crazy, like, it was huge.
And everyone was just going nuts.
Munching outside, they're highly salted.
Are we that desperate... arrgghh!
Highlights of tonight...
We ate a journalist.
I'm excited for New York, to go home...
I know the crowd there is gonna be insane.
No, I have not slept...
no sleep till Brooklyn!
We're not even goin'
to Brooklyn, I don't think.
Good mornin', ladies and gentlemen.
We have everyone on board now.
We've all cleared security.
We'll be closing the latch door
and pushing back momentarily.
The flight time will be approximately
seven hours and five minutes
to Newark, thank you.
London's my hometown,
so I saw a lot of people I know,
and that's why I felt free.
In other areas, I don't feel as free
as I do in London, so I feel
I can just party hard.
Last night was epic,
I was so proud of London.
Look at me talking like I'm the mayor.
This whole tour has been...
it's as if it's been
several months of touring
compressed into a week.
Kinda tired.
Some genius has put
all my things in Chinese.
I don't speak Chinese.
How do I...
Certainly been a ride, it's been
a bit up-and-down.
Seven countries, seven cities, seven days,
been to.
There's no Internet,
there's just a few movies
that, chances are,
people have already seen.
So flight attendants
are dancing through the aisles,
we're running through the aisles.
Short of taking our clothes
off, which may happen...
we don't know, we've got two hours...
um, they've really entertained
themselves pretty well.
I think just the spectacle
of watching this many people
moved about is something
I don't think anyone's gonna see
for a long time.
And honestly, I think the people
who are runnin' this tour,
who are in jobs that
they've known for years
as publicists and managers
of various sorts, um,
almost becoming skycaps
or baggage handlers and things.
It's pretty intense to see.
Where is Chris?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
to today's concert impromptu.
My name is DJ Reflex,
and I would like to introduce
the world-famous Harmodees,
ladies and gentlemen!
Wooh!
Hey, you got it?
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
I need you to all take your seats,
fasten your seatbelts,
make sure your carry-on baggage is stowed.
Harmodees... look out
for our debut EP never.
Yo, listen, before we take our seats...
This has been an experience
I will never, ever forget.
I barely slept.
My sleeping was all done
on this plane here.
Thank you, everybody, for making this trip
the shit, honestly.
Are you glad you did 777?
- Absolutely.
- Yeah.
I'm glad, and I'm glad
I did it like this... this free?
Tonight is the last show, so...
we gonna go all the way.
Guys, everyone in your seats!
Y'all mo' bein' good,
but this was excellent.
Thank you so much for everything.
Hello, how are you?
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to New York City,
the seventh stop on the 777 Tour, ha-ha-ha!
Crazy, crazy events?
I want everybody gettin'
their ass off the plane,
then we go and do
this show in New York, girl!
Rah, rah, rah!
Bye!
We love you, Rihanna!
All the good times,
the good times we've had.
I saw the light inside your eyes
So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful,
like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful,
like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond,
shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright, like a diamond
We're beautiful, like
diamonds in the sky
I love music, music is
my passion, like, for life,
but, um, I would love to explore
different, different roles.
We're gonna bring each
and every one of you on stage
and you can say hello to Rihanna.
Rihanna's had a very busy...
We're in New York City
tonight, before our final
big show and her album release party.
It's been really, really
exciting to see this.
She's meeting many, many hundreds of people
who she's giving a booklet personally to
that will fit into the CD
that they purchased
earlier in the week,
on opening day, on Monday.
It's been great, it's been emotional.
She's seen lots of people
you know, that, um,
are really excited to see her,
and she's in top form, I mean,
for somebody who's been on the road now
for seven days, seven nights
doing concerts all over the world.
She gets a chance to really
spend time with fans, you know,
and also give back something,
with a signed booklet,
you know, for the autograph.
Um, I want her to come back.
- She's brilliant.
- She's amazing.
It's Rihanna's 777 Tour,
it just wrapped up today.
I wanna bring in VH1's Janell Snowden
and Australian DJ
Tim Dormer, my goodness.
Janell, can you confirm
that Tim is wearing pants?
No, I can't, sadly, A.J.,
I actually cannot.
We saw her day one, didn't we?
She came around and she poured us drinks.
She was on the intercom on the plane.
She was exhausted, and in order to pull off
this feat of seven countries,
seven shows, seven days,
she did have to rest her vocal cords.
She couldn't have exactly
been back with us, partying.
She did pull it off,
he pulled his clothes off,
so I guess it's all good in the end.
Thank you so much.
One of my shining moments, A.J.
Rihanna's 777 Tour!
This is New York, it's my hometown,
and she's going out with a bang, I know it.
We love you.
Rihanna is so sociable,
in terms of social media,
and she actually brought it to life,
and had these people on the plane
and actually there, um, with her.
I've got tickets in New York
to the last show of the 777 Tour.
Thank you.
Hold on, hold on.
One, two, three, and four.
As the Bible will show...
- The last show...
- This is the last show?
- Yeah.
- We gonna see a different show?
The man behind the strings.
Guys, I just wanna say
that it's been amazing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's her last show, Rihanna, 777.
It's gonna be the best show.
It's pretty impressive.
I mean... no, for real, in all seriousness,
I mean, she had a jet
that went around for seven days,
went to seven countries,
like, seven... you know,
that's pretty intense.
Before this, I went
to the Best Buy signing,
and we got to talk to her
for a little bit, and then...
I took the train over here,
I ran back down the street,
and I got on this line,
'cause I wanted to be
at everything tonight.
Thank You for everything
that we've done and seen
on this trip, now we ask
that You will bless us again
for this last show.
One, two, three, 777 New York!
Yellow diamonds in the light
and we standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine,
what it takes to come alive
It's the way I'm feeling,
I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
New York City, y'all ready?
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life, I will divide
Turn away, 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It's the way I'm feeling
I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Yellow diamonds in the light
As your shadow crosses mine
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Hey, jump!
Jump!
Jump!
Jump!
New York!
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Hey!
New York City, y'all
are definitely unapologetic!
Right here.
Yeah!
It's the end of seven...
days... in... a row.
No sleep... we party,
we work hard, and we play hard.
And that's just what life is all about.
Exhausting, but...
- It was fun.
- Yeah, exactly.
I would never trade anything
in the world for it,
but it was amazing.
It was a great experience, as well.
You're gonna be sitting
on the couch with the grandkids,
going, "So, grandkids, remember the time
that your granddad
got his ass out on camera,
and was smashed out the front
of the Webster Hall,
in New York, made no sense,
trying to pash everything that moved.
I just want a girlfriend outta this!
We all have a connection
now that is so strong,
you know, that we'll never forget.
That's like, that's
the most beautiful thing
about it, for me.
That not-sleepin' and constant travelin'?
I couldn't... like, I couldn't.
Last show, and it's time
to go home and sleep for like,
a day or two, and back to work!
Tomorrow's a travel day,
the next day's Thanksgiving,
and then, the following day,
we go back to London Town
and just keep it movin'...
I mean, she doesn't stop.
It's not one person
that puts this together,
it doesn't work like that.
We have a team,
and the team is like an army.
And that army, every person in that army,
is just as important
as the person you might think
that is leading that army.
There's someone bookin' the rooms,
there's someone making sure
the press is getting the bus,
to making sure they get their luggage,
to everything, everything is important.
Together, as a unit, we all got there.
Greatest achievement was doin' it,
and finishin' it, and survivin'.
Yeah!
At the end of it, on the escalator down,
one of these great,
tolerant fans turned around
and she said, "Hey, it's better than bein'
in the office all week."
Which... touch.
Couldn't agree more.
Far away, too far away
And we can't get back yesterday
But we young right now,
we got right now
So get up right now
'Cause all we got is right now
Tomorrow way too far away
And we can't get back yesterday
But we young right now,
we got right now
So get up right now
'Cause all we got is right now
