Christmas came early for Ariana Grande fans.
Just minutes after wrapping up her Sweetener World Tour in LA last night, Ari dropped a live album titled k bye for now (swt live). The album features 32 live recordings from the tour, and includes guest appearances by Nicki Minaj, Childish Gambino and Big Sean.
Check out one this rendition of "God is a Woman" from the album:
It's been quite the year for Grande. Not only has she collaborated with pop powerhouses like Normani, Social House, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey, she's also become the most-streamed female artist of the decade and has racked up several accolades by the likes of Billboard and NME – all while touring relentlessly in support of 2018's sweetener and this year's thank u, next.
(She also just launched her own "Thank U, Next- inspired fragrance and an accompanying TikTok challenge... but that's a story for another day).
Last night, the "7 Rings" singer concluded her massive Sweetener World Tour at The Forum in Los Angeles, after a 102-date trek that kicked off back in March.
She performed her standard SWT setlist, opening with "Raindrops (An Angel Cried)" before getting into songs like "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored," "Side to Side," "Breathin," "Honeymoon Avenue" and "No Tears Left to Cry" (you can read all the deets about her Sweetener Tour setlists HERE).
Ari's also been getting into the holiday spirit, performing songs like "December," "True Love," "Wit it This Christmas" and "Santa Tell Me" off her 2015 EP Christmas & Chill.
She closed out her set with an extended version of "Thank U, Next" before exiting the stage for the last time in 2019.
Check out the full setlist and some videos from her performance!

An emotional end-of-tour speech:
What does the pop star have up her sleeve for 2020, you may ask? It looks like she's going to slow down a little bit.
She took to Twitter, writing, "reiterating that i will not leave u the way i did last time lmao. i’m just going to be chilling a lot more next year that’s all. but i can’t do that sh*t again bc i’ll miss u too much entirely."
