The singer, who met the bad after watching them perform in Las Vegas recently, said Followill’s vocal talents had given her “goosebumps”.

“I couldn’t get over the singer’s voice — so soulful, rich and raspy,” she told The Sunday Times Culture magazine.

Rihanna described meeting Kings Of Leon as “the most awesome trip ever”, and revealed that they partied at the same hotel after the show.

“We got to hang out with them by the pool, then go to a party in one of their rooms,” she said. “I swear it was the sickest suite I’ve ever seen. It even had a bowling alley in there.”

Rihanna is set to release her new album ‘Loud’ later this month.
