Ariana Grande teases collab with Netflix leading fans to believe Sweetener may debut as concert doc

Ariana Grande teases partnership with Netflix leading fans to believe her Sweetener tour could be debuting as a concert documentary on the streamer

Her Sweetener world tour was one of the hottest tickets last year, comprising 97 shows in attended by 1.3 million fans. 

And on Tuesday, Ariana Grande teased that more might be on the way, when she posted three evocative black-and-white stills from the tour to her Instagram and Twitter and simply tagged Netflix on each of them.

The caption-less posts saw the sultry performer, 27, splayed in a backbend on stage in one image, while in another her profile was seen slightly from behind.

That post elicited a comment from Netflix’s corporate Instagram account, which said ‘excuse me, I love you’.

The social media activity sent Ariana‘s enthusiastic fanbase into overdrive, with many wondering whether this was a direct hint that the Sweetener tour was coming to Netflix as a concert documentary film or series. 

If so, it would be Grande’s first such a project in two years, after she released her dangerous woman diaries on YouTube.

While neither Netflix nor Ariana herself have revealed anything official, some fans are hopeful the surprise project could drop ahead of the holidays. 

Many of Ariana‘s contemporaries in the music world have utilized Netflix to publicize tours or albums, including Taylor Swift with her Miss Americana documentary from earlier this year.

And more recently, Shawn Mendes released his film Shawn Mendes: In Wonder on the streaming platform, in support of his new album.

Sweetener was Ariana’s world tour in support of two albums, both her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next.

It grossed over $146.4 million, kicking off in March of 2019 in Albany, New York, and concluding last December in Inglewood, California.

Since then, the Side To Side songstress has released her sixth record Positions, but due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic there are no immediate plans for Grande to go on tour.
