Rihanna brought her show on the road yesterday, quite literally.
The 23-year-old singer, who just completed the North American leg of her "LOUD" tour, managed to spend some time at home in Barbados for the annual Kadooment Day celebration, which commemorates the end of the harvest season.
Sporting
a jewel-encrusted bikini, fishnets, elaborate red garter belts and
plenty of flashy jewelry, Rihanna, who serves as an official tourism
ambassador for Barbados, danced on a float and with members of the
crowd.
The superstar was willing to let fans get up close and personal, even
allowing one male onlooker to come up behind her and dance closely.
Despite
the rain that started during the parade, Rihanna seemed to have a
fantastic time. The singer tweeted, "My home, my country, my
people....BARBADOS!!!"
While in her home country, Rihanna also managed to get in a little shopping.
The day after the Kadooment Day celebration, the singer -- dressed
down in a maxi dress and oversized sunglasses --was spotted with an
entourage of family and friends trying on jewelry at Crown of Light.
Rihanna
(born Robyn Rihanna Fenty) was raised in Saint Michael, Barbados, where
she grew up poor -- but with big dreams to become a singer.
While in primary school, she formed a singing group with two of her classmates.
In
2005, she left high school and signed with Def Jam Records. In August
of that year, she released her first single, "Pon de Replay," which shot
to No. 2 on the Billboard charts.
