In the interview, published on Monday, Rihanna talked about some of the things that she's "come to appreciate" since moving to London. "Walking around the block," she said.

"When I go walking, I try to keep it a little incognito."

Per the NYT, "Rihanna moved to London earlier this year, where she is closer to the team working on Fenty, which is designed in Paris and manufactured in Italy."

Naturally the people of Great Britain are delighted that Rihanna chose to make this great nation her home.
