On March 1, Rihanna, the queen of R&B and pop, stunned Jamnagar with her breathtaking performance. The Barbadian singer stunned the audience when she stormed the stage, screaming out back-to-back songs. Despite not having performed live in seven years, the singer wowed everyone with her aura. However, fans were surprised to see her dancing barefoot.
Dressed in a flowing fluorescent green bodycon ensemble accentuated with a shimmering gown, Rihanna graced the stage barefoot. Her attire blended seamlessly with the opulent setting filled with around 1200 guests, perfectly synchronized with her backup dancers.
According to an eyewitness who talked with Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna performed for almost 40 minutes during the pre-wedding. She was pleased to be back performing with a grin. She exuded her own energy and vibe onstage. The cherry on top was having fireworks in the background while singing ‘Diamonds’.”

On being asked why the Wild Things singer opted to perform barefoot, the source added, “She performed barefoot, which was an homage to the Indian culture. She didn’t have any wardrobe changes but added a pink cap at the end of her performance.”
Rihanna’s respect for Indian values and cultures was evident throughout her performance, leaving the entire Western crowd shocked by her comeback and delivering a Super Bowl halftime-worthy performance in India. There were many notable aspects of her show, which also marked her first performance in the country. Additionally, she opted for more covered attire, whether during her live stage performance or her airport appearances.
Rihanna’s performance, delivering fan favorites such as We Found Love” and “B**** Better Have My Money, was truly top-notch. She arrived earlier in the week, bringing crates filled with her luggage and staging equipment. The singer reportedly charged around $6 million for the appearance!
During her performance, Rihanna combined elements of her fast-paced Super Bowl routine with dance steps that she had learned from choreographer Parris Goebel. In the same order as she did in February of last year, she sang Work, Wild Thoughts, Birthday Cake, Pour It Up, and Pose. After the final song, the Ambani family came out on stage with her for an adorable hug and picture.
