Ariana Grande recently won the prestigious Songwriter of the Year award at the 2025 SESAC LA Music Awards held in Los Angeles.
The singer was honoured for her outstanding songwriting, especially for her hit track We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Love). The song is from her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine.
ARIANA GRANDE’S SONG WRITING SKILLS
This track made history as Ariana’s seventh song to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, a record for a female artist, according to Geo News.
She expressed gratitude on Instagram, saying, “Thank you so much for this incredible honour. I am so, so moved and grateful.”
The event celebrated the most-performed tracks of 2024 and highlighted contributions from many top songwriters.
ARIANA GRANDE’S MUSIC TOUR
In addition to this accolade, Ariana has announced her Eternal Sunshine Tour for 2026, marking her first tour in seven years, according to LAD Bible.
The tour kicks off in North America in June 2026 with cities including Oakland, Montreal, Atlanta, Boston, and Los Angeles on the itinerary.
TICKETS SELL OUT QUICKLY
She will also perform five shows at London’s O2 Arena. Due to massive demand, the UK leg of the tour sold out in less than 15 minutes, sparking a frenzy among fans trying to secure tickets.
Tickets went on general sale on 18 September 2025, but they quickly sold out on official platforms. Fans who missed out are now turning to verified resale sites to buy tickets.
A STRONG COMEBACK
However, prices start from roughly £506 (around R 13,900) and can be much higher. Fans advise patience, as prices often drop closer to the event date when resellers try to recoup costs.
For South African Ariana Grande fans, this is a thrilling time to look forward to seeing the global superstar live.
Ariana’s winning Songwriter of the Year and the success of her tour underline her strong comeback and immense popularity worldwide.
