PLEASE NOTE EDIT CONTAINS PROFANITY

United States (U.S.) R&B star Rihanna was in Stockholm on Friday (November 16) for the third concert in her "7 countires, 7 days, 7 shows tour." During her quick visit to the Swedish capital, she performed an intimate concert at the Berns venue.

At the start of the show she apologised to the audience for being more than three hours late.

SOUNDBITE Rihanna saying (English):

"I know I'm a little late so I first want to apologise for all the inconvenience and I want to thank you for being the shit and being so patient and waiting and being still this excited."

Over the weekend, she made concert stops in Berlin and then Paris. The last European stop will be in London with the release of her seventh album in seven years - "Unpologetic".

In order to make all the cities in such a short space of time, Rihanna has hired a jumbo jet.

With her on the plane are around 200 people - journalists, fans and her staff.

The last stop of the whirlwind tour, that started in Mexico City, will be New York City.

On Sunday, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj are tied for the most nominations at this year's American Music Awards, with four apiece.
