Rihanna openly sobbed on stage during her song "Love the Way You Lie" during her first stop of her Ireland and United Kingdom tour in Dublin Tuesday night.
The 28-year-old singer struggled to get the words out and tears visibly formed as fans sang along to her hit with Eminem at the Aviva Stadium.
According to People, despite the emotional moment, Rihanna composed herself, wiped her eyes and proceeded to perform songs from Anti, as well as, fan favourites such as "Umbrella" and "Rude Boy."
Camera phones snapped the moment Rihanna paused to wipe away tears as she started singing to an adoring Dublin crowd during her Anti World Tour show.
The star admitted on social media that it had been an emotional evening for her and thanked her Navy team for their support. In an Instagram post, the Barbados beauty addressed the breakdown.
"What a night!!!!" she captioned the video which showed a packed Aviva Stadium. "Such an emotional show for me! I feel so lucky to have a team like the #Navy man! I'm blessed!! No matter what I'm on you always snatch me out of it! I'm so grateful to have y'all!"
But, wearing a simple but stunning white Adam Selman bodysuit with matching thigh-high Giuseppe Zanotti canvas boots, RiRi took barely a moment to compose herself again.
After the show, Rihanna met with Irish UFC fighter Conor McGregor who spent his night off from training at her concert, and there were definitely no tears on her face.
The UFC champion was seen backstage fooling around with the star and posing for pictures, after watching the show with a group of friends and his girlfriend Dee in a corporate box, Irish Mirror reported.
He posed with RiRi backstage, as they hugged and pretended to be in fight mode, with Rihanna pulling her best battle face in a white baggy shirt and grey trousers.
After a couple of days' break, Rihanna's next show in the Anti tour will see her perform at Wembley Stadium in London.
