Rihanna is every bit the rude girl she's always warned you she is, and now she's taken it to an extreme level by teasing her Navy with a strategic selfie she was fully aware would cause a frenzy.
RiRi claims to be listening her long awaited new album, Anti, on $8,895.00 Dolce & Gabbana headphones with a crown attached. Before you get too excited, remember that this doesn't mean ANTI is finished and it's not a release date. But it is definitely a call to action: buy a crown. Immediately.

Crowns have played a huge role in the marketing of Anti we've seen so far, and there's one on the album cover, which was released well before before #R8 was even finished.

The crown makes sense -- even if nothing else about Anti does yet -- because RiRi is a queen and should be treated as such.

Rihanna has given her fans four years to prepare for this record, and it's time to make sure that your Anti-cipation is productive. This is not a time to be passive.
Ideally, you should buy the headphone/crown combination she's wearing in the shot, because they are confirmed as a Rihanna-approved listening device that will help you avoid hearing any sounds created by someone who doesn't have headphones that don't cost thousands of dollars. Plus, they're stunning. Do whatever you can to look as immaculate as Rihanna.
But if that's not in your budget, hit up Party City for a more affordable option, like this one for $7.99.
Kanye will definitely wear a crown, and we could all stand to be a little more like Kanye.

Get shopping -- Rihanna's album will be ready when we are ready for it, if we ever can be.
