Summary
Ariana Grande played a two-hour show to thousands at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday, her first UK concert since 2019 and the opening of a 10-date London stand.
The set leaned heavily on 2024 album "Eternal Sunshine," mixing new songs with hits like "7 Rings," "Rain On Me" and "Dangerous Woman," while spotlighting her live vocal control over large-scale production.
Grande told the crowd she wanted to "savour every single second" of her last 10 shows, after saying she may not tour again for a "long, long" time when this run ends in September.
That looming break has taken on added weight amid intense scrutiny of her personal life, health and weight, though fans at the O2 largely backed her decision to step away from live performance.
