When Ariana Grande takes the stage at Saigon’s Quan Khu 7 Stadium on Aug. 23, it will be one of the many nights she has done so during her Dangerous Woman tour. The American pop star will sing her chart-topping hits surrounded by towering speakers and Jumbotrons, spotlights and an army of background dancers — and for Vietnam’s young, tech-savvy, pop culture fanatics, that’s exactly the appeal. While Saigon has welcomed a handful of well-known international acts in recent years — from the Backstreet Boys to Demi Lovato to DJs like Diplo, Fatman Scoop and Grandmaster Flash — the southern hub is seldom a destination for touring musicians. Instead, the Southeast Asian leg of a global tour might include dates in Singapore or Bangkok, forcing Vietnamese fans to make a trip abroad to catch their favorite musical acts in person. Now, however, with the fastest-growing middle class in the region and a staggering number of young, switched-on social media users, Vietnam is primed to become an attractive destination for international acts making the trip to Southeast Asia. Grande is the first pop singer to come to Vietnam at the height of her star power, the result of a partnership between Philippine concert promoter MMI Live and local firm Pulse Active, an outfit best known for organizing sports-related events like the Color Me Run, the Prisma Night Run and the Da Nang International Marathon.

She indefinitely suspended her world tour in May, after a deadly bombing at her Manchester Arena concert. And despite speculation that Ariana Grande would cancel her first ever Australian tour, the American pop star has confirmed she will head Down Under in September. 'She is 100 per cent coming,' a Live Nation Touring rep told The Daily Telegraph on Thursday.

Pop star Ariana Grande (pic), who is in Korea for her first concert here, is refraining from any contact with the media and fans before her performance, possibly out of fears of terrorism. Grande is believed to have arrived at Gimpo International Airport late Monday, without being greeted by a crowd of fans and the media as is the norm when megastars visit the country. This sparked a rumor that Grande had refused to enter Korea after seeing a flock of reporters at the airport. Hyundai Card, the show’s promoter, denied the rumor, saying that the secrecy was at Grande’s request. It added that the concert would be held as scheduled at 8pm Tuesday at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.

Ariana Grande takes to Twitter to respond to all that backlash she received after her concert in Seoul. Earlier this week, Ariana performed her first ever concert in Korea and fans weren’t too thrilled with her visit. After reportedly arriving late, cancelling her pre-show rehearsal, delaying and shortening her meet and greet, and leaving Seoul only hours after arriving, Korean fans were pretty upset. Many of them took to social media to share their disappointment, but it appeared as though Ariana hadn’t noticed. She even posted a pic shortly after the concert, captioning it “Seoul, you were magical. Thank you for your beautiful, loving energy tonight.” But we all know word travels fast on social media and it looks like Ari finally saw what was going on and responded via twitter. She tweeted QUOTE “I cherish these shows and these very special times with you. I am enjoying every last moment and am eternally grateful for you. all da time.” It may not be an apology, but is an apology really warranted here or do you think her fans need to cut her some slack? After all, she’s had a pretty tough year. Let me know what you guys think in the comments below, and when you’re done with the click right over here to watch Ariana absolutely slay a cover of the Spice Girls. As always, I’m your host Renee Ariel, and I’ll see you later.

Ariana Grande brought her Dangerous Woman Tour to Makuhari Messe arena in Japan for three nights, Aug. 10, 12 and 13. The last time the 23-year-old star played in Japan was two years ago at the Tokyo International Forum, so she returned to a much bigger audience this time around and delighted about 60,000 fans who flocked to see her impressive live performance. The crowd broke out into cheers when the countdown clock appeared on the screen on the third night, and as it hit zero, Grande burst onstage to open her show with "Be Alright." Throughout the night, she showed off competent dance moves while displaying her incredible vocal talent, backed by a solid band and crew of dancers. When she performed "One Last Time," the song that has come to symbolize the One Love Manchester benefit concert, her voice filled the venue like a secular hymn. "Tokyo! How are you? Are you having a good time? I love you!" Grande called out in Japanese, which she said she is trying to learn. She went on to perform other chart hits such as "Side to Side" and "Break Free," then treated fans to a big surprise: Her boyfriend, Mac Miller, joined her onstage to perform her breakthrough single "The Way" together just for that night, much to the excitement of the gushing audience.
