Rihanna sprung a surprise on Coachella attendees moments ago.

The 28-year-old hit the stage for an impromptu performance of ‘We Found Love’ during Calvin Harris‘ set at the annual festival.

RiRi’s showing comes in the midst of her ‘ANTI World Tour,’ which has received polarizing reviews from both fans and critics alike.

How did the Coachella crowd receive the unannounced guest? Find out below…

It’s Coachella, hence there wasn’t a need nor desire for 8-count choreography.

Still, in the absence of such distraction tactics, Ms. Fenty’s showing felt both boring and bare.

      Still an iconic song. But she’s so lazy in her performances and vocals, it almost makes it unbearable to what. this limited vocal ablilty makes you think — she should at least give 110 percent live. She does not.

      • PhlyGerl April 18, 2016

        You OBVIOUSLY haven’t been to the ANTI World Tour…

    • Shae April 18, 2016

      She is the worst live performer of all the divas, no energy, bad vocals and lazy dancing. HORRIBLE and ungrateful for success SHE DOES NOT DESERVE

      • PhlyGerl April 18, 2016

        You OBVIOUSLY haven’t been to the ANTI World Tour…

  3. Mateo delgot April 18, 2016

    Girl, bye!

    What kind of artist can’t even sing the high parts of her own song when singing live!? Lmao

    I honestly don’t even get why she sings live anymore, she butchers her own songs at this point. All I’m getting is drunk karaoke at the gay bars on Wednesday night from this performance. Love the song though lol

    • HailBeysus April 18, 2016

      Oop well go on and read this thot for blood.

      • rosy3 April 18, 2016

    • rosy3 April 18, 2016

      Worry about your favorite lemonade stand

    • IStan4Rihanna. April 18, 2016

      And yet, above and beneath all of that…

      .

      – She still remains a Pop icon.
      – She’s still getting booked.

      She’s still getting paid.

      .

      Seethe, Sweetie. Seethe. 😉

    • rosy3 April 18, 2016

      I don’t understand why your mother at 50 still selling p**** on the corner ain’t she too old for that they raising minimum wage soon get into formation to the job fair b**** we heard you can’t file taxes as a w**** salary your mama will not get the child credit for you this year bloop

    • PhlyGerl April 18, 2016

      1) On her ANTI World Tour, Rihanna sings the high parts PERFECTLY night after night.

      2) If she didn’t want to sing high notes, then that’s her right. She’s on a world tour singing DOWN nearly EVERY night! She can’t afford to have a mishap and cancel her tour for a one-off performance due to vocal surgery like Adele and John Mayer had to do because they thought they knew better than their doctors about their condition.

      3) It’s OBVIOUS you haven’t been to the ANTI World Tour…

  4. Haze April 18, 2016

    B**** SHE IS ON A F****** TOUR ? Hence surprise attendee y’all kill me always hating on rih

    • Haze April 18, 2016

  7. IStan4Rihanna. April 18, 2016

  11. ???Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??? April 18, 2016

    This is so great! Keisha performed with Zedd too.

  12. Rihboy April 18, 2016

    Calvin asked for the gig. Furthermore it’s coschella. Where everybody is hippie and free. Nobody needed a try hard performance. It’s not like it’s her tour or something. Just doing a friend a favor. No need for all the extra. Just free up yourself like bob Marley said?

  13. Anti(hives scared of R8) April 18, 2016

    Rihanna is a f****** rock star!!

  14. PhlyGerl April 18, 2016

    Rihanna did fine. Festival goers didn’t pay to see “her”, they were there for Calvin. And being that she DID stop and perform, in the midst of her own worldwide tour, it added to her vocal and physical stress and strain of performing nearly every night.

    The only regret I would have about the performance was that Calvin stuck to the track as it was recorded. That forced Rihanna to sing along to it with no variation, depth, creativity, or vocal prowess – ALL things she adds to the song in her own live performances.

    I just saw Rihanna live in Chicago 3 days ago. 4th row seats. She sang in front of me several times during the show. Her vocals were loud, clear, and ON POINT! When she sang “We Found Love” in her remixed mash-up with David Guetta’s “How Deep Is Your Love” it was PHENOMENAL!

    And since the ANTI World Tour is very stripped and sleek with visuals, Rihanna’s stage presence and her vocals stood all the way out. There is NOTHING about her ANTI World Tour that is “distracting” from Rihanna in ANY way. If anything, the stage production forces you to focus on her every second of the show. Anything else going on only complements what SHE is doing, adding to it, not distracting away from it. So if anyone is thinking THIS is the Rihanna you’ll see on tour, you’re SADLY mistaken!

    What this performance DOES remind me of is Rihanna’s other impromptu performance at Fife Fest with Kanye West. She was in the audience and ended up onstage with Kanye singing hooks on their collabs. Just like at Fife Fest, her Coachella pop-up is a cool surprise that a bunch of raving, night-owl, boozers & pill poppers will appreciate. It wasn’t supposed to be fancy, just fun. And from the reaction of the crowd, Taylor Swift, and Calvin Harris, it was just that – FUN!

    • Rihboy April 18, 2016

      Well said!! I went to her show in d.c. People claim she is smoke and mirrors, but the tour is actually very simple. All focus is on her. And yes my favorite vocal showing from the tour is live on the brain. I prefer the live version.

    • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 18, 2016

      Thank you for your in-depth analysis of the ANTI World Tour, because I absolutely agree. The tour is nothing short of phenomenal. Her presence along with her vocal ability is something truly spectacular. When I saw her in Miami, I was beyond impressed, especially when she gave me chills when she sang Love On the Brain. The ANTI Tour proves that Rihanna is in a completely different lane of her own. Furthermore, it shows that she will most definitely be a legend as it showed that she is indeed the last rockstar.

  15. LB April 18, 2016

    Slay

  16. LB April 18, 2016

    How come the crowd was singing along to such a generic and forgettable song, #1s don’t mean sh1t. Formation’s impact though O_o

  17. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 18, 2016

    This was such a pleasant surprise this morning! Go Riri

  18. rosy3 April 18, 2016

  20. Cinnamon Girl April 18, 2016

    Where’s Beyawnce? Teehee

  21. Datredd23 April 18, 2016

    Yes Rih brought the house down just her presence alone was enough. Taylor was on Rihs d***k so hard backstage it was a little embarrassing for her. But everyone loves the Queen Rih she couldn’t help herself! Lol

  22. .:: Centurion ::. April 18, 2016

    She slayed. She’s a phucking rockstar. Loved the performance of her #1 hit ‘We Found Love”.

  23. .:: Centurion ::. April 18, 2016

  24. HALF AMAZIN April 18, 2016

    I love this h** but she blatantly skipped all the falsetto. And that back track was so loud. No ma’am Pam. Ima tell a bish when she sucked

  25. HALF AMAZIN April 18, 2016

    I’m sure everyone in that audience was high and drunk, but still….video is alive and well

  26. MJ April 18, 2016

    Lmao! Polarizing reviews from critics and fans alike? Idk where you get your information from Sam. Because the tour has been getting great reviews from critics and fans alike. It seems to me that you spitefully search for the negative reviews only just so you could have an adverse post under her name. You are so predictable and pathetic.

  27. Ciara is Not relevant!!!! April 18, 2016

    That was an awesome surprise. Go Rihanna 🙂

  28. Tran uk anti bloper honey love but it okay girl April 19, 2016
