Dozens dead and hundreds injured in a terrorist attack in France, and some Twitter users and celebrity-obsessed British tabloids are worried about … Rihanna’s safety?
The American pop star was scheduled to perform at a stadium in Nice Friday night, and her fans voiced their fears for her safety loud and clear when news of the attacks surfaced.

Lucky for them, the U.K.’s Daily Mail stepped up to allay those fears and inform the world that RiRi was safe and sound.

The Mail’s poor choice of priorities was not lost on most of those chiming in.
I'm really glad the daily mail have informed us of Rihanna's safety after the Nice attacks. I'm really glad that's the story they went with.
