Ariana Grande’s currently on her Sweetener tour and living her best life. She’s been keeping fans updated with all her glamorous behind-the-scenes tour activities on Instagram, like resting her vocal cords with a mini steamer and hanging out with the cutest pups we ever did see.

This has been an emotional tour for Grande, too. She’s singing about songs that reflect a pretty hard year for her, so she’s posted frequently about how much it means to Grande that her fans are going on this journey with her.

“About to embark on my third tour and am for sure deep as f*** in my feelings. and getting my period so…. this is probably gonna be too much. but i just want to say how grateful i am for my life, for the people in it, for the ups and challenges, for the laughter and the pain, for this music and for the lifelong friendships i’ve made thru making it (that includes my friendship with y’all)… maaaaaaaan… i cant really fathom all that has happened over the past few years. i don’t even really know where i’m going with this post but i’m just grateful to be here still. and excited to see you. i’m prolly gonna cry a lot. a few months ago i told my team i wasn’t even in an okay enough place to tour or work at all and my friends, you guys and this music really saved my life and turned everything around. i’m still healing but i feel a lot lighter as of late and i think this is really going to be such a beautiful time,” Grande posted on Instagram.

She went on to let her fans know that she loves them and that she’s so thankful and grateful for their support.

It’s why fans love her so much, her openness. Her songs, while absolute bangers, are also pretty raw.
