The Sweetener World Tour was the fourth concert tour and third arena tour by American singer, songwriter, and actress Ariana Grande, in support of her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019). Led by Live Nation Entertainment, the tour was officially announced on October 25, 2018. It began on March 18, 2019, at the Times Union Center in Albany, New York, and concluded on December 22, 2019, in Inglewood, California at The Forum, visiting cities in North America and Europe throughout 97 dates. Frequent collaborators and backup dancers of Grande, Brian and Scott Nicholson who were enlisted by her, served as creative directors and LeRoy Bennett was enlisted as production designer.
The tour received positive reviews from critics, who complimented the stage design and Grande's vocals. The Sweetener World Tour was attended by 1.3 million people and grossed $146.6 million from 97 shows, surpassing her previous concert tour, the Dangerous Woman Tour, as her highest-grossing tour to date.[1] Throughout the tour, Grande partnered with nonprofit organization HeadCount to register new voters ahead of the 2020 United States presidential election, breaking its all-time voter registration record with 33,381 registrations.[3]
Multiple shows across the tour were recorded for the live concert tour album, K Bye for Now (SWT Live). It was released on December 23, 2019, following the final show of the tour in Inglewood, California on December 22, 2019. A concert film documenting the tour entitled Ariana Grande: Excuse Me, I Love You, was released on Netflix on December 21, 2020, one day prior to the one year anniversary of the final show.
