Curious about love: The 25-year-old admitted she was confused about romance
The pop star, who is currently on her Diamonds world tour, asked the audience: 'How many of you are in love?
'How many of you hate love? How many of you don't f**king understand it? I'm in that group.'
The confession came, according to People.com, as an introduction to her new song What Now from her latest album.
From the gut: The Barbados native sang about the trials of heart break and reconciliation
The lyrics for the new track are quite revealing: 'I've been ignoring this big lump in my throat. I shouldn't be crying, tears were for the weaker days.
'I'm stronger, now what, so I say. But something's missing.'
While the singer may be embroiled in relationship trouble, she took to the stage dressed like royalty.
The Diamonds (In The Sky) artist wore a gold embroidered jacket and thigh-high leather boots.
The petite songstress completed the outfit with black and gold briefs, a leather bikini top, and a diaphanous shirt.
Rumour mill: Rihanna was seen partying separately from her on/off beau Chris Brown over the weekend
The Barbados native has been finding it difficult to see 23-year-old Chris, who is gearing up to release his new album X.
The couple - who reconciled last year even though Chris is still on probation for beating her in 2009 - were spotted partying separately at different Los Angeles hotspots over the weekend.
But friends of the couple insist they are still together and just have a lot going on.

A source previously told HollywoodLife: 'Chris ain't trying to hear no nonsense today. It's simple, he with [Rihanna].
'They're cool and if and when something changes between them that's between them - they both have a lot going in their careers right now and just doing them and focused on they work.'
The insider went on to explain: 'They've been trying to connect but it hasn't been clicking for them. It ain't like Rihanna got time to just chill and run through - she's on tour and her schedule is way too tight.'
