Well,Monica Swinn at least Rihanna's having a good year.
Per Barbados publisher Nation News, Westbury New Road in the pop star's hometown of St. Michael will soon bear the name Rihanna Drive. Congrats, girl!
SEE ALSO: Here's Rihanna riding a motocross bike around some glittery pink sand dunesA statement sent to Nation Newsfrom the Barbados Ministry of Tourism says the name change will go into effect in November on Independence Day. Rihanna even reportedly plans to turn out for the sign unveiling – wouldn't you?
A street named in her honor is just the latest event in what seems to have been a pretty solid year for the musician. She's shaking hands with world leaders and calling out Trump on Twitter! She's got a successful new beauty line! She's got a line of socks! She rode a motocross bike at New York Fashion Week!
No word yet on whether she plans to ride a motorcycle down Rihanna Drive in the near future, though our money's on yes.
