Rihanna got the surprise of her life from a fan at a recent show. 

At the singer's Anti tour in Cincinnati, she stopped while performing the song "FourFiveSeconds" to lean down and let a fan sing into the mic. What she didn't realize was that the fan had some real pipes of his own.

Fan Terah Jay belted out the lyrics, catching Rih off-guard with his stunning vocals. 

See (and hear) for yourself in the video below. 


Like any mere mortal, Terah Jay and his friend immediately freaked out afterward, which fans thankfully caught on video. Rihanna then thanked him for "helping me out, babe." 

Terah Jay couldn't stop tweeting about the show, 

He also posted a short Instagram video thanking everyone for supporting him. 

Thank You, truly. #ANTIWorldTour #Navy #rihannanavy #ANTIWorldTourCinci #Humbled #Overwhelmed
