Dear Gossips,

When Rihanna announced the world tour a couple of weeks ago, it was speculated that the long-awaited album, ANTI, would drop soon too. Like last Friday. Well, Friday came and went and still no ANTI. Tomorrow Rihanna is presenting the second annual Diamond Ball in support of her Clara Lionel Foundation with special guests Lionel Richie and Kevin Hart, so it’s not like she’s not out there and staying visible; Rihanna is always relevant, always. But with the tour kicking off in just 10 weeks, and everyone starting to shut down for the holiday season, it doesn’t leave a lot of time for people to get familiar with the new material. It also doesn’t mean I’m not going. Of course I’m going. I bought tickets already. But I also want to know the music when I’m there. Is it the same for you?

Yours in gossip,

Lainey

PS. Marcus Mumford is NOT a hipster who cheats.
