And while it’s an honor to attend, even the stars themselves need to find a way to spice up their night out. Rihanna, [nominated for eight awards](http://time.com/4655730/grammys-2017-when-who-beyonce-adele/?iid=sr-link2) at Sunday night’s Grammys, certainly wasn’t going to let her evening get dull. Instead, the [notorious party expert](http://time.com/4431632/rihanna-wine-glasses/?iid=sr-link1) prepared with a bedazzled flask, which she and a friend were spotted casually sipping from in the middle of the evening’s over-three-hour broadcast. It’s unclear if Ed Sheeran, seated next to her, got in on the fun. But as usual, [casual drinking hero](http://time.com/4431632/rihanna-wine-glasses/?iid=sr-link1) Rihanna shows us how it’s done. > [](https://twitter.com/Musicnews%5Ffeed/status/830982535681277956) There’s also footage of Rih mouthing out “I think it’s time for a shot,” appropriately enough. > [](https://twitter.com/URihannaFansite/status/830984055512510464) And finally, someone captured her on her phone, potentially FaceTiming, and clearly having an absolute blast. Looks like the flask trick worked! > [](https://twitter.com/Zoo757/status/830989371562217473) Grammys 2017: Rihanna Sips From a Bejeweled Flask, Of Course ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4668545/rihanna-flask-grammys-2017/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4668545/rihanna-flask-grammys-2017/"},"headline":"Here's Rihanna Sipping From a Bejeweled Flask at the Grammys, Because Of Course","datePublished":"2017-02-13T04:18:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:01.612Z","description":"Rihanna knows how to spice up an awards show evening","url":"https://time.com/4668545/rihanna-flask-grammys-2017/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Grammys 2017"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt203788e1a6c7aa1e/6988b9f8097b9012099b8e30/rihanna.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt203788e1a6c7aa1e/6988b9f8097b9012099b8e30/rihanna.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The 59th GRAMMY Awards - Roaming Show","caption":"Rihanna during the 59th GRAMMY Awards at STAPLES Center, on Feb. 12, 2017 in Los Angeles.","creditText":"Christopher Polk—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/4668545/rihanna-flask-grammys-2017/","name":"Here's Rihanna Sipping From a Bejeweled Flask at the Grammys, Because Of Course"}}]}] ```
