Imagine, for a moment, that you are starring in one of the biggest TV shows in the US as one of the most iconic characters of all time.

How would you celebrate?

You could, like some A-listers (we imagine), not even bother watching yourself on screen, do some naked yoga and mainline baby tears into your veins for the purposes of youthful looks.

Or, you could invite your mates round, grab a bottle of Vodka and live-stream your reactions.

Yeah, we though so.

And that's what Rihanna did.

We got our first glimpse of Robyn Rihanna Fenty as the doomed Marion Crane in the new season trailer for Bates Motel back in January.

The creators of the show Kerry Ehrin and Carlton Cuse read an interview with Rihanna where she proclaimed Bates Motel as her favourite show.

They told Vulture that,

Kerry and I got on the phone with her and pitched the character. We made it very clear we wanted to take this character in a different direction. Fundamentally, it was not going to be possible to make Marion Crane an empowered woman of 2017 if she just died in the shower. Rihanna really embraced our idea of redefining the character. That was the moment in which she said I'm all-in.

And boy was she all-in. She even treated the world to a play-by-play commentary of the show.

Rihanna's two-episode appearance debuted on Monday, with some steamy sex scenes, and she could not handle it.

Riri was so cringed out by her on-screen luuuuurve making she needed a drink, or two.

In fact, Robyn's infamous shot-taking formed into a drinking game with her friends in the form of downing their drink every time someone says Norman, which is, turns out, quite often.

You can watch the full 45-minute giggle-athon below. Feel free to have a drink, it' what Riri would want.
