“excuse me, i love you,” the streaming platform replied, revealing the upcoming show’s title.
NME attended the Los Angeles leg of the ‘Sweetener’ tour last year, and described the performance as “a big, slick pop show” that “charts the evolution of one of pop’s brightest stars”.
Ariana Grande released her sixth studio album ‘Positions’, the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Thank U, Next’, on October 30. Reviewing the record, NME wrote: “It’s solid, but you can’t help but feel it’s missing some of her trademark sparkle.”
Shortly after the arrival of ‘Positions’, a number of fans clocked what they believed to be subtle nods to Mac Miller within the album. Grande dated the late rapper for two years before they split in 2018.
Meanwhile, Grande has joined forces with Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson for a new version of ‘Oh Santa’. The festive collaboration aired as part of a new Apple TV+ Christmas special last week (December 4).
