The evolution of Rihanna

June 6, 2011 - Around this time last year, things did not look good for Rihanna's Last Girl On Earth tour. Ticket sales were slow, and at least six shows were cancelled.

Part of the problem was the economic downturn, and the Barbados-born R&B starlet certainly wasn't the only artist to feel its effects. Neither was she one to sit back and wait for better days. Instead, Robyn Rihanna Fenty took action, showing the same single-minded ambition that propelled her from Caribbean beauty queen to international recording artist. Over the past year, the feisty 23-year-old did everything in her power to ensure her popularity.Around this time last year, things did not look good for Rihanna's Last Girl On Earth tour.
