Rihanna will once again be back on the world concert scene with the announcement of her "ANTI" World Tour.
According to an article by Latin Post, the Barbadian singer announced the start of her "ANTI" World Tour via her official Twitter account. In the post, the singer confirmed that the start of her world tour would be in February next year but the tickets will go on sale starting December 3.
The 27-year-old singer will have a 60-date trek from across the United States to Europe. Her concerts will start on February 26 next year in San Diego, California and end in Zurich, Switzerland on August 12. Entertainment Weekly has released a full list of the dates and the concert venues.
Rihanna also invited some guests for her concerts. Travis Scott will serve as her opening act in her American tour while The Weeknd and Big Sean will be joining her on the European tour. It looks like her concert will be covering most key cities in the US and in Europe. Included in the list are places like Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Amsterdam, United Kingdom, Germany, France and many more.
The singer's 2013 Diamond World Tour earned approximately $140 million. Rihanna's "ANTI" album is reported to be released exclusively on Tidal on Black Friday while the general release for the public will be on December 4.
The album has produced hits like "FourFiveSeconds", in which she collaborated with Kanye West and Paul McCartney. It also includes singles like "B*tch Better Have My Money'" and "American Oxygen."
Rihanna recently talked about the process of making her album, and she admitted that there is some struggle in picking the songs, especially when she likes all of them.
"To me, it's never done until it's done. Until the final moment. I have so many songs I love - and they're so different - that it's hard to actually put them all on the same album," the singer said.
The sultry singer also spoke of a few things when asked about Taylor Swift and how she brings guest singers or her girl squad to perform with her while on tour. When Rihanna was questioned whether she would appear on stage if Swift invited her to one of her concerts, the answer to that is "No."
"I don't think I would. I just don't think it makes sense. I don't think our audiences are the same. In my mind, she's a role model. I'm completely not. I guess doing my own thing means I'm a horrible human being," Rihanna said candidly.
