The benevolent queen was singing “Love the Way You Lie,” when the tears started flowing at Aviva Stadium in Dublin for the show for her ANTI tour. [Rihanna](http://time.com/4198509/rihanna-anti-review/?iid=sr-link2 "undefined") shook her head, pressed her tattooed fingers against her temples and raised her hand in the air as she took a moment to collect herself. But the tears continued to stream down her face — without disrupting her perfect eye makeup, of course. “What a night!!!! Such an emotional show for me!,” she captioned [a video](https://www.instagram.com/p/BG7-nvbhMxe/?taken-by=badgalriri "undefined") of the concert on Instagram. She powered through the entire show, but in response to this display of emotion, people have taken to Twitter to express concern for her well-being. One loyal Rihanna subject asks that the singer come online to reassure everyone she’s O.K., so she can resume living life. > [](https://twitter.com/VlEWSFENTY/status/745406021351411712) > [](https://twitter.com/KissItBettaNavy/status/745438748788219905) > [](https://twitter.com/illestbaba/status/745356014518673408) > [](https://twitter.com/Iastvegas/status/745353467363987456) Watch below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4377942/rihanna-cried-on-stage-internet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4377942/rihanna-cried-on-stage-internet/"},"headline":"Rihanna Cried On Stage and the Internet Is Emotional About It","datePublished":"2016-06-22T14:33:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:36.981Z","description":"When Rihanna cries, everybody cries","url":"https://time.com/4377942/rihanna-cried-on-stage-internet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Music","Rihanna"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4377942/rihanna-cried-on-stage-internet/","name":"Rihanna Cried On Stage and the Internet Is Emotional About It"}}]}] ```
