Ariana Grande Announces Petal, Her Live Album, on iTunes

September 8, 2026

Ariana Grande has stunned fans with the release of Petal (The Complete Live Album).

Solely available via iTunes, the collection features every one of the 12 tracks from her latest project Petal, along with a live version of Hate That I Made You Love Me recorded during a rehearsal for the Eternal Sunshine tour.

The release comes a week after she brought the run to its conclusion.

Last Tuesday (01.09.26), Ariana was moved to tears at London’s O2 Arena as she delivered her final show before taking a long-planned career break.

The 33-year-old performer closed her 41-date trek across the US, Canada and the UK with an emotional send-off, telling fans the tour had been “one of the most beautiful, extraordinary experiences” of her life.

She faltered with emotion as she thanked the crowd, saying she hoped to express her gratitude “without sobbing.”

Fighting back tears, she told fans: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart… I’ll cherish this experience always, and I have the best fans in the entire world.”

She wrapped up by thanking them for “being by my side all the way from Honeymoon Avenue to Hampstead.”

The pop icon also grew emotional during One Last Time (Attends-moi), asking the audience to help her sing when she struggled to articulate the words.

Grande performed her final two shows in “cosy” Uggs after sustaining a “deep cut” on her foot. She explained the injury on Instagram the night prior, telling followers she was bandaged and might have trouble bearing weight, but insisted she was “on the mend” and ready to perform—even if she was “a few inches shorter than usual.”

The Dangerous Woman hitmaker had previously paused her Chicago concert on August 3 to explain that her decision to step back from the public eye was made “a long time ago,” underscoring that it was not a response to online commentary about her appearance.

She described the tour as “one of the most healing, beautiful, correct and special experiences” she has ever had, telling fans: “I wish that words were enough to articulate how much I love you.”
