Rihanna left absolutely no space between her and her fans last night, propelling herself into a mosh pit along the Trocadéro in Paris. While most celebrities would be scared for their lives, RiRi crowd surfs and simply chills atop a man's shoulders as admirers clamor to take a selfie with the singer and Puma's newly-minted creative director. The fun chaos is all part of a music video filming called the R8 Experience, which was announced on her website:

Rihanna invites her French fans a unique experience for her new album #R8 whose official title still has not been revealed. Meet at 5:45 p.m. today the "CARROUSSEL TROCADERO" in Paris (In front of the Eiffel Tower) to have a unique chance to experience the #R8Experience.

Who loves her fans the most? Rihanna loves her fans the most.
