When asked about her dream day there, she responded, "Beach, eat, drink, dance, repeat; beach, eat, drink, dance, repeat."

Aside from enjoying the beach, Rihanna found the Kadooment Day, which happens every first Monday in August, the "most amazing carnival ever." She recalled the party trucks coming down the street with incredible live music and DJs. Those who are planning to visit Barbados at that time of the year should experience it, according to the "Umbrella" singer.

Rihanna is very popular in her country. In fact, Westbury Road was renamed Rihanna Drive in her honor.

In related news, there are rumors that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are dating. The pair sparked dating rumors after they were spotted together, but the sightings weren't surprising because they are close friends. To address the speculations, a source confirmed to People that the longtime pals are officially dating.
