Rihanna [1] was the lucky recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award [2] at this year's VMAs, so naturally she came ready to slay the hell out of her multiple performances [3].

In true Rihanna [4] style, there were excellent moments of ponytail swinging, hip gyration, and her trademark IDGAF attitude [5], so let the below GIFs give you all the life and more.
