What We Learned from Rihanna Day-Drinking with Seth Meyers

Deep down in the bottom of all of our hearts lies a burning desire to get hammered with Rihanna on a Wednesday afternoon. But unlike the rest of the general public, Seth Meyers has the power to make it happen with the snap of his fingers.
So, yes—he did, and the Late Night host spent a day drinking with the musician-entrepreneur (and newly named wealthiest female musician in the world) in New York City, which Rihanna prefaced with chugging a beer and deadpanning: “This is what I call a prom date.” Here’s what we learned:
Rihanna might not know what nut milks are
Meyers began by mixing a series of drinks based on some of Rihanna’s titles, notably “Bitch Better Have My Bunny,” in which Meyers beheads a chocolate bunny and pours tequila into it like a chalice, and “Diamonds in the Rye,” which consists of rye whiskey and Blue Diamond almond milk. This is where we find out Rihanna has likely never heard the term “nut milk” before—when Meyers deflects her comment that she doesn’t like milk by offering that it’s a nut milk alternative, she orders: “Don’t even say that ever again.”
She can (almost) remember every occasion she wore her outfits on
Oh—how the liquor kicks in, baby! Meyers leads the musician through a round of drinking games, beginning with presenting images of her more outlandish outfits and asking her to recall where she wore them. She gets stumped on the iconic image of her wearing a red, heart-shaped fur coat, but has super-sonic memory otherwise. Meyers ends up sloshed by the end of the game.
