Ariana Grande felt the love in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
The superstar singer performed the second of four shows at Crypto.com Arena on The Eternal Sunshine Tour, and after a 90-minute show, Grande stopped to address the crowd, which responded to her comments with cheers and loud applause.
“Thank you so much, oh my God. Los Angeles, thank you so much. Are you kidding? What the hell? Thank you so much, oh my God,” said an emotional Grande, wiping away tears with her hand while wearing custom Vivienne Westwood gloves, Christian Louboutin shoes and Swarovski jewelry. Los Angeles, thank you very much. Are you kidding? What the hell? “This is so overwhelming in the most beautiful way ever. Thank you so much for being so loving. Holy moly. I said holy moly, but I meant it, you know.”
As the crowd cheered, Grande continued her comments while wiping away more tears. “This means a lot to me. You guys are so amazing. I love you so much and I will always love you. You can’t do this to me, you know what I mean, because you know what’s going to happen. You know I’m cancer. This is going to happen,” she said, noting that more tears would be shed if they kept clapping and cheering like this.
