But in a new video for “Goodnight Gotham” — a bonus song [on her latest album, _ANTI_](http://time.com/4198509/rihanna-anti-review/?iid=sr-link9) — she does something pretty crazy. Pulling up to Paris’s Trocadéro Square beneath the Eiffel Tower in an SUV, the singer sheds her jacket and runs straight out into a mob of screaming fans, who hoist her high into the air and give her what we only imagine was quite the crowd-surfing thrill. Decked out in a silver jumpsuit and sparkling collar necklace, Rihanna straight beams with sheer elation throughout. Rih: giving the people what they want, no matter how risky for her personal safety. That’s commitment to the art of superstardom. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4432986/rihanna-goodnight-gotham-music-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4432986/rihanna-goodnight-gotham-music-video/"},"headline":"Watch Rihanna Leap Into the Arms of Her Fans in ‘Goodnight Gotham’ Video","datePublished":"2016-08-01T15:18:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:57.006Z","description":"She seriously trusts her fans","url":"https://time.com/4432986/rihanna-goodnight-gotham-music-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"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/4432986/rihanna-goodnight-gotham-music-video/","name":"Watch Rihanna Leap Into the Arms of Her Fans in ‘Goodnight Gotham’ Video"}}]}] ```
