The tour marks her first outing since 2017’s “Dangerous Woman Tour,” which was interrupted by tragedy. During a stop at the Manchester Arena show on May 22, a terrorist bombing killed 22 concertgoers and injured more than 800. Grande resumed the tour on June 7.
“The Sweetener World Tour” comes in support of Grande’s fourth album Sweetener, which was released in August and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 231,000 equivalent album units.
Just two months after its release, she is already back in the studio working on a new project, which has been helping her cope with the death of ex-boyfriend Mac Miller and her recent breakup with Pete Davidson.
UPDATE: Normani will join Grande as supporting act on the first leg of “The Sweetener World Tour” next year. “excited would be an absolute understatement,” tweeted the Fifth Harmony songstress. “I’m feeling special right now because I get to spend three months on tour with @arianagrande 💕 the sweetest of angels. THANK YOU! See y’all soon.”
