Last night on the FOX channel, an hour-long documentary aired giving #RihannaNavy a peek into the hectic tour life their favorite superstar encounters every couple of months, and this tour was no exception to the madness as it showed her infamous 777 tour experiment. Rihanna and her team traveled to seven different cities in seven countries in seven days in support of last year’s album Unapologetic. The docu showed the high everyone’s involvement in a nutshell that included not just RiRi and the people behind her, but also the lucky contest winners and 150 journalists worldwide that joined. Though the docu wasn’t groundbreaking in expressing the demands of tour life, below are seven most noteworthy things about the documentary, which you can also watch below in its entirety.
1. Press Got Some Sweet Diamond Swag
On the first day of the tour, as Rihanna poured everyone a glass of champagne, she also announced into the intercom that everyone had a small bracelet for him with a small, real diamond attached. Though they were tiny, press likely thought just being on the tour was their gift.
2. Such A Tour Had Never Been Done Before
Mini tours are a typical for new albums, but a global tour done in such a short amount of time. The docu showed how everyone’s energy went from excited to exhausted. All stops were completed but a full 2 days off rest was certainly in demand after the last stop in New York.
3. There Is a Such A Thing as a Wardrobe Mistress
Fashion insiders already know about this, but for for rest of us fashionistas-in-training, a wardrobe mistress is a someone that oversees that sartorial choices and that those choices run smoothly for a production. The term is actually pretty old fashioned, and today are also referred to as simply a wardrobe supervisor.
4. A Press Member Streaks the Airplane Naked
So to spice up the dulled atmosphere of a very tired airplane full of 777 passengers, the Australian DJ Tim Dormer streaked up and down the aisles naked, and the cameras caught all of it. Surprisingly, these scenes aired on FOX.
5. RiRi Subjects to a Party Hard Lifestyle
After her Paris show, Rihanna speaks to the camera and admits that while she should be going to sleep, she’s heading out to the club at 2:29 in the morning, which she also ran into other celebs in town, and the proof’s in the photo.
6. Rihanna Tries to Explain that Labels Don’t Matter
In another candid moment with the camera, RiRi briefly discusses how music labels never really mattered to her, and that being a “rockstar” is really more of an attitude no matter if you’re pop, rock, or “urban”
7. She Performs “Stay” in London
The second to last stop was in Londontown, and the docu showed the whole, and great, performance of her acclaimed ballad “Stay”. Ri stated how much she loved the song backstage, and that even if it wasn’t hers, she’ll still be a fan of its lyrics. This scene was the best of the hour BTS, like most of the other performance shots that were the highlights of the docu.
