Rihanna brought the glitz and glamour to Buffalo, New York, for the launch of her biggest tour yet. After months of preparation, the pop princess kicked off her 27-city “Diamonds” World Tour with a sold-out show at First Niagara Center on Friday night.

Following an opening set from A$AP Rocky, the 25-year-old singer took the stage shortly after 10 p.m. The concert was divided into three acts and featured a four-piece band, eight dancers, and plenty of show-stopping moments.

She opened with her Unapologetic cuts “Mother Mary” and “Phresh Out the Runway.” The fashionista turned heads with an array of sexy costumes including a sparkly dollar bill-patterned mini-dress with matching high-tops, blue sequined jumpsuit, and white bustier with neon leggings.

She ran through her 12 No. 1 hits including “Umbrella,” “Disturbia,” “We Found Love,” and “Diamonds” (See a full set list here).

“You guys are all rock stars. There is only one first show, you all have a special place in my heart,” RiRi told the roaring crowd.

The North American leg continues in Boston on Sunday, traveling across the U.S. and Canada through May before making its way overseas.

Mindless Behavior may not be old enough for strip clubs and dollar bills, but the teen sensations still had some fun with Rihanna’s hit single “Pour It Up.”

During a visit to the Converse flagship store in Santa Monica, Prodigy, Roc Royal, Ray Ray, and Princeton broke into an impromptu performance of RiRi’s club anthem, with Prodigy changing the lyrics “strip clubs and dollar bills” to the more age-appropriate “snapbacks and dollar bills.”

Ray Ray used to have a crush on Nicki Minaj, but he’s moved on to the Barbados beauty. “She’s gorgeous,” he gushed, while Princeton marveled at her plethora of No. 1 records.

“You know what Rihanna has, she has hits,” he added. “She’s super talented.”

Mindless Behavior’s sophomore album All Around the World is due March 12 followed by their documentary Mindless Behavior: All Around the World on March 15.
