Whether she’s outing herself as a diehard Trekkie or [taunting Kevin Durant and hapless Warriors fans by dabbing on them](http://time.com/4816227/rihanna-nba-finals-memes/), she is [Internet gold](http://time.com/4815217/most-influential-people-internet/). Nothing exemplified that more than a recent re-discovery online of an old photo of Robyn solemnly yet nonchalantly riding a jet ski in 2011 while sitting side-saddle, as one does when one is Rihanna, a queen who [casually dominates the red carpet at the Met Gala](http://time.com/4762629/rihanna-queen-met-gala-2017/) and shuts down [Internet body shamers with a single meme](http://time.com/4807117/rihanna-body-shaming-response/).
