[elegant music] [fan whirring]

[elegant music continues]

[people speaking indistinctly]

[Rihanna] Oh my God. I love it!

All right. What we doing?

[all laughing]

[woman speaks indistinctly]

[Woman] Nice to meet you.

Hi! Mama Mia. - Hi!

Oh, so good to see you.

All right, let me see what you got.

Really relaxed, simple.

Yeah. - I love this one.

The hair is nice too,

how it's, like, back like that.

Some classic shit.

[camera stutter clicks]

[camera stutter clicks]

Excited by the challenge

and also very accepting of it.

[camera stutter clicking]

I've surrendered to my journey

and I'm enjoying it.

Your mother's amazing.

She's super excited. Grandma.

[Rihanna laughing]

[people speaking indistinctly]

Oh my God, that's beautiful.

Oh my God, Rihanna! [fan whirring]

Fuck, this is for the books.

[laughs] I'm sorry. - [laughs] That's hilarious.

[calming music]

I'm waiting for the ball to drop

'cause I hear all these horror stories, right?

And then I'm just like,

But I'm having a good time.

You know? I'm really enjoying it.

It's a journey that's never gonna end, you know?

Like it just continues even afterwards

so I'm looking forward to it.

Okay, so we start with our quote

and then we go downstairs to a balcony shot.

You love a good balcony.

I knew it was gonna happen.

[calming music continues] [camera shutter clicking]

I'm looking forward to being a teacher

but mostly being a student

'cause I think I'm gonna be learning

more from my kid than I could ever teach them.

[camera shutter clicking]

My God, this is- - Historic.

[Rihanna laughing] [calming music continues]

[camera shutter clicks]

Yes, yes. Bless you, that's gorgeous.
