Eminem and Rihanna’s live performance of “The Monster” in New York City was a key highlight of their 2014 Monster Tour. They performed on August 16 and 17 at MetLife Stadium, drawing massive crowds.
This tour marked the first time the duo headlined a tour together, and it spanned six dates across major U.S. stadiums, each performance consistently sold out. Known for their contrasting but complementary styles, Eminem’s intense, raw rap delivery paired with Rihanna’s powerful vocals created a dynamic on-stage presence that fans found unforgettable.
The setlist included many of their joint hits, with “The Monster” as a climactic moment. This song, which became a major chart-topping success upon its release, resonated powerfully with audiences live, as both artists brought energy and precision to the performance.
The crowd reaction underscored the popularity of their collaborations, from “Love the Way You Lie” to the newer “The Monster.” Their New York stop highlighted both artists’ versatility and skill, blending elements of hip-hop and pop R&B to create an unforgettable experience.
