The pop star, who is currently on her Diamonds world tour, asked the audience: 'How many of you are in love?
'How many of you hate love? How many of you don't f**king understand it? I'm in that group.'
The confession came, according to People.com, as an introduction to her new song What Now from her latest album.

The lyrics for the new track are quite revealing: 'I've been ignoring this big lump in my throat. I shouldn't be crying, tears were for the weaker days.
'I'm stronger, now what, so I say. But something's missing.'
While the singer may be embroiled in relationship trouble, she took to the stage dressed like royalty.
The Diamonds (In The Sky) artist wore a gold embroidered jacket and thigh-high leather boots.
The petite songstress completed the outfit with black and gold briefs, a leather bikini top, and a diaphanous shirt.

Rumour mill: Rihanna was seen partying separately from her on/off beau Chris Brown over the weekend

The couple - who reconciled last year even though Chris is still on probation for beating her in 2009 - were spotted partying separately at different Los Angeles hotspots over the weekend.
But friends of the couple insist they are still together and just have a lot going on.

A source previously said: 'Chris ain't trying to hear no nonsense today. It's simple, he with [Rihanna].
'They're cool and if and when something changes between them that's between them - they both have a lot going in their careers right now and just doing them and focused on they work.'
The insider went on to explain: 'They've been trying to connect but it hasn't been clicking for them. It ain't like Rihanna got time to just chill and run through - she's on tour and her schedule is way too tight.'
