Rihanna brought in the new year with 15,000 fans at her New Year’s Eve concert at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Thursday night.
The singer performed a 17-song set and also shared her New Year’s resolution:
“I want to stop shopping, being late, start waking up early, stuff like that. I’d like to see my mum and grandparents more. I want to learn the drums and I want to work with Depeche Mode so bad.”
Good luck with all that, Riri! Check out more pics below.
