Rihanna walks like she's immortal and it's freaking people out

The magic of Rihanna manifests in mysterious ways.

Only one thing is for certain in this world: there is very little Rihanna cannot do.

The Barbados native is an international superstar who still manages to juggle a cosmetics brand, fashion line, and a charitable foundation. Oh—and she can defy the laws of nature and somehow walk gracefully on sidewalk-grates in the tallest of high heels and never fall.

Twitter user @priya_ebooks reminded us all of the fact that over the years, the world has been blessed to witness Rihanna shatter walking expectations of mere mortals. Time and time again, she's managed to cross those pesky grates with the elegance and swagger of, well, Rihanna.

And yes, if we're going to keep it real here, the trick behind this is honestly just putting your weight on the front of your feet. Many people pointed it out and there's unfortunately no lies detected in their tweets.

But despite the science behind this, let's just all agree to chalk it up to the magic of Rihanna manifesting itself in supreme ways.
