Ariana Grande shares ‘healing and special’ news with fans a month after split

Ariana Grande is building up for a very special moment coming soon, a moment of joy in the wake of an emotional period surrounding increased attention on her love life.

A little over a month ago, it was revealed that the singer, 30, and her husband of two years, Dalton Gomez, were splitting up. And soon after, reports emerged that she was dating Ethan Slater, her co-star on the theatrical adaptation of Wicked, who is in the midst of his own divorce from wife Lilly Jay.

However, August 30 marks a big day for Ariana, as it is the milestone 10th anniversary of her album Yours Truly, her debut record released back in 2013.

The singer teased earlier in the month that a special re-recording of the project was in the works, including special live performances of some fan favorite tracks like “Honeymoon Avenue,” “Tattooed Heart,” and “Baby I.”

Alongside a teaser clip of the special releases, Ariana poured her heart into a message which read: “P.S. the “deluxe” = the Live from London, updated versions of the songs we performed from Yours Truly :)…”

Her first official foray into music came with her debut single, “The Way,” which was recorded in 2012 and was her first introduction to Mac Miller. While the two remained friends, they didn’t start dating till 2016, before which she had romances with Nathan Sykes and Big Sean, both of whom were featured on Yours Truly.

When the album was released, the singer was still in the height of her TV fame, having just come off the Victorious finale and transferred over as the co-lead to its short-lived spin-off, Sam & Cat.
