Rihanna Performs 'S&M' at 'Today Show,' Fan Won't Let Go

Rihanna took 'S&M' to the streets of New York City on Friday morning (May 27), when she performed the hit single as part of the 16th annual 'Today Show' Toyota Concert Series.

The 'Loud' creator treated fans to a live performance in Rockefeller Plaza, where she performed 'S&M' in addition to 'What's My Name?,' 'California King Bed' and 'Only Girl (In the World)' from her fifth album.

Sporting her signature red locks, a black patent leather Burberry trench coat and baring her midriff, Rihanna started the performance from the street. En route to the stage, her dancers were forced to step in and help free the pop princess from one overzealous fan, who pulled her in -- at 1:19 into the video of the performance -- for a hug and didn't want to let go.

Rihanna kicks off the North American dates on her Loud tour in Baltimore on June 4, where she will be joined by Roc Nation rapper J. Cole.

Her most recent performance of 'S&M' was at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night (May 22), where Britney Spears joined her on stage to open the show.

I like rihanna but why when she performs she is always in her draws. where's her talent. does she always have to show her vjayjay. i dont think its about her is why the fan grabbed her maybe if she wasnt in her draws and showed some talent than maybe there would be some respect. i watched the billboard awards and i couldnt stop looking at her personal. i loved her outfit to entertain my husband. maybe she should be a stripper she definetly have the talent of that but performing i dont know.

Wow most of the comments here are on Gaga,yet the article is on Rihanna.....Just goes to show that this girl is talentless and fabricated,why doesn't she get herself some morals and forget these people that are obviously pulling her puppet strings and programming her as to what to say!Is it all about the money Rihanna?

That is well said!! Yo rocksgrl84, this person broke down the meanings and showed us some wisdom here and your going to mock the person for it?? I'll pray for you so that God will give you wisdom and that your eyes will be opened to the Truth!! Its all a desepive trick of the enemy!! All the destruction that were witnessing to is just a bit of a taste of things to come!! No one knows the day nor the hour when Jesus comes to judge the world, even Jesus said it to His disciples, its in Mark chap 13 verses1-10!! READ IT!! And recieve wisdom!!

Rihanna and Gaga are both TRASH. Someone needs to grab them both and toss them in the garbage where they belong. Throw Brittney in there too. The nastier they get the more they are in the news. They try to out do each other with their vulgarity.
