Pop the Question With Becky G
To say 15-year-old Becky G is fierce is an understatement. If you've seen her 'Otis' cover, then you most likely went "bananas" over it like big-time producer and songwriter Dr. Luke did. Now signed to Luke's label, Becky has collaborated with Cody Simpson ('Wish U Were Here'), Cher Lloyd ('Oath'), and is fervently working on her debut EP while continuing to do covers, like her confident
Rihanna 777 Tour Day 7: Jay-Z Shows Up at Final Show in New York
We wish we got to see Jay-Z, who was discreetly hanging out (unknown to us) in the VIP section of Rihanna's gig at Webster Hall -- where she delivered her seventh and final show from the exhausting 777 Tour.
Rihanna 777 Tour Day 6: Singer Addresses ‘Missing’ Flyers Following London Gig
The antics continued on Day 6 of the 777 Tour, as journalists were deprived of sleep and (still) any appearance or word of Rihanna since Mexico City. Shortly after the London gig shown above (more on that later), one journalist started posting 'Missing' flyers around the plane, which included a cheeky description ("Rihanna was last seen November 14 on a Boeing 777 giving champagne around. She
Rihanna 777 Tour Day 5: Hysteria Breaks Out on Flight Departing Berlin
Since our job is to report on the day-to-day excursions of Rihanna's 777 Tour, we should be focusing on her stellar performances, such as the one in Berlin. After all, she was sexified and sweaty -- wearing a mesh tank (which displayed her affection for cannabis) and an over-sized men's suit shirt, but not much else. "It is so hot in here," she exclaimed after performing 'S&M.' "
Rihanna 777 Tour Day 4: We Interview Her DJs + Bassist in Paris
Today felt like the first normal day on Rihanna's 777 World Tour -- meaning we slept in a hotel bed for the first time and got to eat a full Swedish breakfast stocked with homemade loafs. The travel day was unnecessarily long, however, for just traveling from Stockholm to Paris; but it did give us the opportunity to interview members of Rihanna's band, specifically bassist and musical director Ada
Rihanna 777 Tour Day 3: Singer Performs ‘Stay’ Braless in Stockholm
Yesterday was long -- probably because it was the second night in a row where we took a red eye to our next destination. We're talking about Day 3 of the Rihanna 777 Tour, where we took a Transatlantic flight to Stockholm. It was in Sweden where we saw RiRi perform 'Stay' -- one of our favorite down-tempo tracks off 'Unapologetic' -- for the first time on the tour.
Rihanna 777 Tour Day 2: Singer Waits at Baggage Claim in Toronto, Just Like Us
If you think we drank another 200 bottles of Ace of Spades while up in the air, you're surely mistaken. Day two of Rihanna's 777 Tour was still in full force, but started with us touching down in Toronto shortly after 9AM, jet lagged. The red eye from Mexico City wore us out!
Rihanna 777 Tour Day 1: Singer Pops Champagne on Plane to Mexico City
Rihanna's 777 Tour kicked off with a bang, as we traversed from Los Angeles to Mexico City and then to Toronto on a 777 Boeing jet to promote her seventh studio LP, 'Unapologetic.' There's 150 of us from 82 countries along for the ride, so we weren't sure what to expect.
Rihanna 777 Tour: We Head to Mexico City!
So, it's happening. PopCrush is joining Rihanna on her 777 World Tour, where we fly on the 'Diamonds' private jet to seven countries in seven days to celebrate her seventh studio album. (Yup, it's a mouthful.) This is also her seventh album in seven years, so why not go big for this momentous occasion!
