5 best moments from Ariana Grande's previous performances

Have a look at some of the most memorable moments Ariana Grande has given her fans during her previous appearances on stage.


Manchester victims tribute

One moment from her Dangerous Woman Tour in 2017 touched the hearts of many. In May 2017, there was a terror attack during one of Grande's concerts, which cost the lives of 22 innocent people. Eight months after the attack, Grande got on stage to sing a tribute song for all the people who lost their lives at the time. She sang a heart-wrenching rendition of Judy Garland's Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Grande was visibly emotional during the performance.


Pink Graffiti performance

Ariana Grande decked out the Billboard Music Awards 2019 in a bubblegum pink vibe. She performed her hit 7 Rings, while wearing a ruffled pink two-piece with thigh-high boots, perfectly matching the playful aesthetic. The stage was transformed into a dreamy pink modern wonderland, with a graffiti-covered car in the background and matching metallic pink outfits for her dancers.


Be Alright choreography

Ariana Grande's editorial-inspired choreography for Be Alright was all the rage in 2017. For her Dangerous Woman Tour in 2017, she was dressed in an all-black top and skirt, paired with her iconic thigh-high boots. Grande, along with her backup dancers, showcased a new choreography for Be Alright.

The dance went viral, and everyone on the internet seems to be posting dance tutorials or videos of them imitating Ariana Grande's onstage choreography.


Ariana Grande reunites with the Victorious cast on stage

In 2019, Ariana brought two of her previous co-stars from Victorious on stage during her concert in Atlanta. The Love Me Harder singer sang Give It Up with Elizabeth Gillies, and Matt Bennett played I Think You're Swell from season 3 of the show.

Gillies also joined Ariana on stage for Thank U, Next, dressed in a Mean Girls-inspired red outfit. Before the three left the stage, they performed the Victorious theme song, and fans lit up the place by singing along with them.


Stationary bike performance

Grande is the queen of vocals. She is a pro at changing riffs, runs, and notes while performing live. However, this one performance got fans to bow down at her range. One of her most memorable performances was at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, when she performed Side to Side, on a stationary bike while actually cycling for almost a minute of the song. A few minutes later, she was joined by Nicki Minaj on stage.


Ariana Grande's past performances have set the bar high with unforgettable moments that blend vocals, visuals, and raw emotion. Fans now eagerly await how she will top these highlights when she finally returns with her 2026 Eternal Sunshine tour.
