Rihanna may only be credited as a featured performer on DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts,” but there’s no denying the song is all hers. She hit the Grammys stage tonight with Khaled and Bryson Tiller for a performance that can only be described thus: ?????????????????????????????
First of all, she came out like THIS:

Just, iconic.
She was definitely having the most fun out of every other Grammys performer so far:
She did the Gwara Gwara, a South African dance, during her performance.

Earlier in the night, Rihanna took home a Grammy for her performance in Kendrick Lamar’s “Loyalty” (decked out in head-to-toe leather, no less). The duo won the award for Best Rap/Sung Performance; this trophy marks Rihanna’s ninth Grammy win out of 33 nominations.
