The Sweetener Sessions

The Sweetener Sessions (officially American Express x Ariana Grande: The Sweetener Sessions) is a promotional concert tour by Ariana Grande to celebrate the release of her fourth studio album Sweetener (2018).

Background
Three performances are scheduled to take place at New York City's Irving Plaza, The Vic Theatre in Chicago, and Los Angeles' Ace Theater between August 20 and 25, 2018, following the release of her studio album Sweetener.

Tickets for the intimate shows were made available exclusively to American Express cardholders.

The New York City concert occurred after her appearance at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, where she performed "God Is a Woman".

Grande has appeared to confirm that she will do a show in London as part of this mini-tour after fans were left upset that when the original dates were revealed London was surprisingly left out. She has since confirm that London show will happen soon. Following the Chicago gig she said this about her upcoming London gig on Instagram: "I'll see you in London". This would be her first show in England after last year's One Love Manchester benefit concert. The date and location are unknown as of yet.
