In the clip, Rihanna is initially bashful about seeing herself on the [_Psycho_](http://entertainment.time.com/2012/11/25/was-hitchcock-psycho/)\-inspired show, but soon remedies that with an ingenious solution: a drinking game. She and her friends provide plenty of real time commentary about the show’s plot lines and characters, all while taking tequila shots and livestreaming the soiree. Between Rihanna’s insouciant approach to awards shows’ extracurriculars ([it includes a jeweled flask, of course](http://time.com/4668545/rihanna-flask-grammys-2017/)) to her inspired _Bates Motel_ drinking game, there’s no denying that the baddest girl is also the one who knows how to have the most fun.
