The writer talks openly about Ariana’s appearance on stage and they are clearly worried about her:

ends. It can’t be nice or fun to have your body examined and discussed for any reason but it is impossible to witness the 33-year-old’s frame on stage and not be gripped by genuine concern for her. Two songs in, a lump forms in my throat, which is not the intended effect of Positions, the zippy title track of her 2020 album. As the set around her is engulfed in digital flames, Grande sings about her infinite flexibility vis a vis relationship boundaries and sexual olympics and all I can think is: she looks like a little kid.”

“The angle she’s standing at and the lighting collude to knock the breath out of me for a second: I shouldn’t be able to see this person’s skeleton.”

Those moments are deeply conflicting and in them I wish she had cancelled this run of dates rather than wait for them to wrap up. The show is a good testament to her 13-year pop career and worthy of being enjoyed, but that is hard to do when you feel that someone spectacular might be slipping through our fingers right in front of us. I really hope this tour does not go down in history for the wrong reasons: I hope it ends up a four-star aside in a long and rich life.”

What do you guys think about these comments? I felt quite moved by them and hope Ariana gets the help she needs.

I flew all the way from Japan for the show tonight and NEED ‘Sun Bleached Flies’ as the closer but she sang it last night in Dublin 😭😭😭 please mother!!! Let us pray for SBF in Edinburgh tonight!!

What songs do you guys really wanna see tonight?
