Ariana Grande is embarking on her Sweetener world tour on March 18, and as the date creeps closer she's getting a little emotional. The "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" singer shared a touching message on Instagram to her family, friends, and fans before heading out on her third tour.
"mmmmk .... 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," she wrote. "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," she continued, most likely referring to the Manchester tragedy; her whirlwind engagement to Pete Davidson; the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller, and the crazy success she's had in her career upon releasing Sweetener and Thank U, Next. "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," she added. "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. thank god we are doing this. i can’t imagine what else i’d do and i want you to know how thankful i am...... anyway. i’m gonna go focus on finishing this show for y’all and put my phone away for a little (how much u wanna bet i don’t last a day) so i don’t ruin all the surprises. thank you. for everything. i am so deeply and eternally grateful. life is wild. but your love and this music make it feel so sweet. love u."

Ari recently let fans know about the strict clear bag policy security is enforcing during the tour by modeling a see through Sweetener fanny pack. Unfortunately, those are currently sold out in her online store; however, wristlets and totes are still available.
