Last week a new Rihanna song leaked onto the internet: a gnarly gangster rap homage called "Bitch Better Have My Money." Lyrics include "your wife in the backseat of my brand new foreign car," and the artwork got her looking like a punk Frida Kahlo. She performed it live for the first time at the iHeart Radio Awards (note—we should really name our award ceremonies better) last night and it is amazing for approximately 9,000 different reasons, some of which are listed below:

- She arrived on stage in a helicopter, your move Meridian Dan.

- She's dressed like Lil Kim via Ghost World via the Green Goblin.

- And somehow made nu rave green look OK?

- The "Rude Boy" legs dance continues to be a massive part of Rihanna's legacy.

- There are loads of bits where she's mostly just pulling her dress down and sticking her tongue out with the kind of nonchalance Miley could only dream of.

- There is choreographed slut dropping to a wailing guitar solo.

- Basically, if Sin City had a "Batdance", this would be it.
