The light is coming – oh wait, that's just Ariana Grande sparkling on her world tour!
The "Thank U, Next" singer is currently on the final leg of her massive world tour in support of her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next. Grande embarked on her Sweetener World Tour on March 18, and is set to wrap things up December 22 in Los Angeles, after a total of 102 shows. (You can see her remaining dates below!)
Her shows have been visually amazing – with a great stage design, runways, costume changes and back up dancers – but what keeps fans coming back is her talent. She's been hitting those high notes left and right, and has wowed with her live performances of new songs "God Is a Woman" and "NASA," and oldies but goodies "Side to Side" and "Dangerous Woman."
Think you know Ari's Sweetener World Tour setlist by heart? Keep reading to see her setlist highlights from each of her shows' 5 acts, which include a new holiday twist!
Act 1
Grande opens her show with "Raindrops (An Angel Cried)" before getting into new songs "God Is a Woman," "Bad Idea" and "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" from Sweetener and Thank U, Next.
Act 2
Once she has the audience warmed up, she performs a shortened rendition of "R.E.M." before digging into hits old and new, like "Sweetener," "Side to Side" and "7 Rings."
Act 3
After a video interlude of Cashmere Cat's "Adore," Ari usually plays songs like "Breathin," "Needy," "Fake Smile" and "Make Up."
And to get into the holiday spirit, she just started including a Christmas medley during Act 3!
Grande plays snippets of songs from her 2015 EP, Christmas and Chill like "December," "True Love," "Wit It This Christmas" and "Santa Tell Me" before closing out the act with "NASA" and "Tattooed Heart."
Act 4
Act 4 is the shortest – here, she usually segues between "Every time," "The Light Is Coming" and fan-favorite, "Into You."
Act 5
A video of Marilyn Monroe singing "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" marks the beginning of the end.
Ari saves her bests for last, closing out her shows with "Dangerous Woman," "Break Free" and "No Tears Left to Cry" before ending with an encore of "Thank U, Next."
