Ariana Grande is ready for a new world tour early next year. She announced Friday that her 42-date Sweetener World Tour will kick off on March 18 in Albany, New York.
It's the first North American tour for the “No Tears Left to Cry” singer since her Dangerous Woman Tour, which was suspended after a terrorist bombing killed 22 and injured more than 500 at Manchester Arena in May 2017. After a donation for the victims of the bombing at the One Love Manchester concert by Grande, the tour was resumed.

Grande's upcoming tour will accompany the release of her fourth studio album “Sweetener,” which has been the singer's largest project so far.
The album broke Spotify's record for the biggest opening day for a female artist and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in August. Singles like “God is a woman” and “No tears left to cry” are extremely popular around the world.
At the same time, what excited Ariana Grande's fans is that the renowned singer has recently released a snippet of a new song on her social media. It's suspected that a new album is about to hit the billboard.

The last few months have been a tough period for Grande because her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller died of a suspected overdose in September and shortly after that she called off her engagement with Pete Davidson. However, she claimed that the pain has been channeled into her new album.
