After performing to crowds in Melbourne, Ariana Grande brought her Dangerous Women tour to Sydney last. Despite not allowing press photographers into her concert — a trend being set by other stars such as Adele — we obtained pictures of the pint-size pop star entertaining a near sold-out ICC Sydney Theatre at Darling Harbour. After the terrorist attack at her May Manchester concert which killed 22, it was unclear whether the 24-year-old American would continue her world tour.

In the three years since Ariana Grande's first trip to Australia, her whole world has changed. In September 2014, when she was here to promote her second album My Everything, Grande was still a former Nickelodeon star in transition. "Problem" had hit #2 on the Billboard charts in May, but she was still seeking out publicity, as up-and-coming stars must. She got more than she asked for—the Australian media, who demand humility from celebrities above all else, branded her a diva. Three years later, headlining her first Australian shows, Ariana's a bonafide pop A-lister. After the tragic bombing at her Manchester show in May, no one would have blamed her for cancelling the rest of her tour. Instead, she led by example, arranging the One Love Manchester benefit show just two weeks later. If she could hold her head up high, spirit unbroken, then we too could hold it together. As a result, the cloud of Manchester doesn't hang over tonight's show at all. Security's unusually tight, but that's it. There's no sense, as there was with Justin Bieber's recently cancelled tour, that the machine's forcing her to grind on. The show goes on, and for once it's not a cliché, but a collective choice.

Pop diva Ariana Grande's first outing in Singapore was an impressive showing of both her flawless vocal chops and her ability to dance in potentially ankle-breaking sky-high heels. The 24-year-old played to a crowd of over 50,000 at the Padang Stage on Saturday (Sept 16) night for the 2017 Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix. The short, one-hour set showcased the best of Grande and her four-octave soprano. She never broke a sweat, despite the sultry Singapore weather and even managed to hold a tune while cycling on an exercise bicycle on the Nicki Minaj collaboration, Side To Side. Her catalogue of pop R&B tunes like One Last Time and Bang Bang worked for the diverse crowd, especially the "cat ear"-wearing tweens. Backed by a full band, a small string section and a troupe of male dancers, there was plenty of spectacle to enthrall her fans.

Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman Tour is almost complete, and no one is more sad about its end than the “Dangerous Woman” singer herself. After her Singapore concert on Saturday, Grande shared a bittersweet message with her fans on social media about the end of her world tour — which is officially over this week — and her words are so heartfelt. “Crying crying crying. loveeee youuu more than words can express,” Grande wrote on Instagram. Grande went on to say that even though she may be worn out from touring her ““heart ain’t ready to go home yet,” added the singer, “just please have it forever and take good care of it.” Grande might be nearing the end of her tour (there are two shows left), but based on her sweet words, she will never forget all of the great moments she’s experienced on this performance circuit.

Ariana Grande received a wave of support this week after it was reported she handed to the pink slip to one of her dancers for using the N-word. Revelist reports that Monday (Sept. 18), choreographer and musician Lady Cultura was seen using the word toward Ozuna, an international reggaeton artist on her Instagram Story. Fans noticed that soon after Cultura used the slur, Grande unfollowed her on social media.
