Oprah sits down with global music phenomenon Rihanna on her home island of Barbados on the next edition of Oprah’s Next Chapter.

Oprah has offered up a preview of the program, which is set to air Sunday, August 19 at 9/8c on OWN.

“I went there with my own ideas about who she was from watching her videos and listening to her music,” said Oprah. “I thought she was gonna be kind of a badass, a kind of hard edged, rocker, pop woman.”

“Nothing could have been farther from the truth,” summed up the talk show legend.

“She was thoughtful. She was very emotional,” Oprah added. “She was vulnerable.”
