Yesterday was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced and dreamed of. I got front row at Telenor Arena in Oslo and the stage was so close I could touch it. This has not been the case at the stadiums so I’m really thankful for the whole set-up in Norway.
I’m gonna write a proper review later but right now I need to chill. The lack of sleep is real. Here’s a picture bonanza though:

Hi everybody! I’ve arrived in Oslo and I couldn’t be more excited for tomorrow. Rihanna’s dancers are already in town but I’m guessing she’ll stay in London, where she’s been seen out with Drake the past couple of days, until it’s time to perform.
Meanwhile, I’m having an amazing time. It’s my first time in Oslo so we’ve been walking all day today, taking in the sights. I even managed to buy (correction: be given *THANK YOU*) a pair of Trainers.
All four colors are on sale at YME. Their staff is super nice and got very involved in the purchase. We talked about Rih and apparently they’ve been given concert tickets by PUMA (lucky bastards). If you didn’t get that lucky, but want to attend, there’s still tickets on sale.

The Floria Sigismondi directed video for Sledgehammer premiered exclusively at IMAX theaters today, and can now be seen on Tidal and Vevo.
Psychedelic intergalactic mom serving hypnotic magic! Yas witch, yas.
It just hit me. I’m witnessing Rihanna live on Saturday. That’s THIS WEEK. Like HOW did time move so slowly and then just JUMPED on me like this? Today was my last day at work and when I left my co-workers all wished me a happy trip and that’s when it hit me. IT’S TIME.
I have no clue what to wear. I don’t think I’ll be front row because I’m not queuing, but I have Golden Circle Early Entry so I’ll definitely be reallllyyy close. Close enough for her to see me? How the ph do I stand out? Suggestions on this matter are most welcomed (please).
Ebba is already in Manchester together with Hanna and Tara.
She doesn’t have a computer but told me to forward this to the world:
”I cannot describe how excited we are for the show. TOMORROW. That’s crazy. For now we’re just enjoying the city and chilling at our hotel. There’s a lot of navies in Manchester now. It’s been a long time since I met some navies. And it’s gonna be the first time I’m meeting a lot of my Twitter and Instagram friends so I’m EXCITED.” /Ebba
With Sledgehammer‘s release yesterday and an overall high of emotions over AWT creeping up on us, the past week have been all about preparing gifts. We’ll share the projects we’ve been working on for Rih once they’re all done, promise.
And seeing how the time has come for our shows, we’re gonna try and be better with the updates. Here’s our schedule for the week, make sure to check in for reports on the shows!
June 29th – Manchester (Ebba)
July 2nd – Oslo (Alex)
July 4th – Stockholm (Ebba & Alex)
July 7th – Copenhagen (Ebba & Alex)
Oh, and by the way: if you’re reading this and are attending the Oslo show, let me know! I wanna get in contact with other fans and hopefully find some people to experience it all with. I’ll be in Oslo with family but they have seated tickets and I’m on the floor so… friends needed!

Calling all Star Trek and Rihanna fans!
”Sledgehammer” has finally arrived. Listen to the song from the motion picture Star Trek: Beyond here:
She first teased the track back in 2014, when Navy thought the lyrics were for R8/ANTI.
You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer #barz
— Rihanna (@rihanna) May 16, 2014
The song was co-written with Sia and Jesse Shatkin, with Rihanna as the lead composer and writer.
