Three exclusive intimate performances for American Express card members only will take place on 20 August in New York City, 22 August in Chicago and 25 August in Los Angeles. Grande decided to treat fans with these exclusive performances and announced it on Twitter last week announcing the first show after the VMA Awards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Surprise. I\u2019m doing a little thing called the sweetener sessions to celebrate release week,&#8221; she tweeted. &#8220;The first of the sweetener sessions will take place in NY after the VMAs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sweetener is her fourth studio album and is up for the release on 17 August. The lead single \u201cNo Tears left to cry\u201d was release in April and debuted at No 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100. \u201cGod is a Woman\u201d was released as the second single in July and debuted at No 11. Ariana always praised Whitney Houston, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/mariah-carey-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mariah Carey<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/beyonce-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> as her influences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis last album shows how Ariana matured both vocally and psychically and this music really expresses who she is,\u201d Grande&#8217;s manager Scooter Braun told Variety. Ariana wrote most of her songs herself and they are pretty next-level according to Pharrell Williams, who collaborated on the album.<\/p>\n<p>Her last 2017 album Dangerous Woman was a huge success. Her lead single from the album \u201cDangerous Woman\u201d debuted at No 1 on the Billboard\u2019s Hot 100 and made her the first person in the history of the Hot 100 to have the lead single from each of her first three albums debut in the top 10 entry on that chart.<\/p>\n<p>The making of fourth album prolonged a little bit and the events in Manchester \u201cgave a hard reset to the project\u2019s expectations\u201d.It\u2019s a good thing she found the way to sweeten our lives a bit with her amazing voice.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for all three dates can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/ariana-grande-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sweetener Session<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Show Date and Time: Monday, 20 August, 2018, 10pm<\/p>\n<p>Show Location: Irving Plaza, New York, New York<\/p>\n<p>Show Duration: TBA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ariana Grande really knows how to heat things up!
