For a crowd of more than 60,000 in Manhattan’s Central Park, pop goddess Rihanna closed out the seven-plus-hour annual Global Citizen Festival with an energetic performance that spanned her history of major hits, from upbeat “Umbrella” to emotional renditions of “Stay” and “Love on the Brain.” The Barbadian singer added her name to an extensive list of stars who have lent their celebrity to Global Citizen’s efforts to end world poverty; Beyoncé was last year’s headliner. Other performers at Saturday’s massive outdoor festival included Demi Lovato, Metallica, Kendrick Lamar, Major Lazer, Ellie Goulding, Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder — but it was really Rihanna’s night, as the thousands of attendees waited it out after dark for RiRi to grace the stage.
