Ariana ‘all grown-up’ in Dangerous Woman show at MOA

-

Smart Music Live brings Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman tour to Manila on Aug. 21 at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena and fans can only expect a grown-up Queen Ari.

According to Seattletim­es.com, “Grande’s Dangerous Woman Tour pushes the 23-year-old in a bolder direction.” Said to be the artist of the moment after showing the world how exactly to bounce back following the horrific Manchester tragedy when she did the tour there, Ariana will continue to spread love and music when she sets foot in Manila. Track the hashtags #SmartMusic­Live and #SmartArian­aGrande to find out how to win tickets, perks and privileges related to Ariana’s concert produced by Music Management Internatio­nal (MMI) Live. Aside from Dangerous Woman, Smart Music Live also brings to Manila In the Mix featuring 5 seconds of Summer, Two Door Cinema Club, Dua Lipa, Zara Larsson, Daya and DNCE (tonight) and Ed Sheeran on Nov. 7. Last Aug. 14, Smart Music Live presented Oasis’ Liam Gallagher.

Here are some of the best moments to look forward to when Ariana takes full control of the Manila concert scene: String of hits. Those who have seen

Dangerous Woman have been raving about her fast numbers, those hits that come with the complete package Ariana is known for: Power vocals and phenomenal choreograp­hy. This is expected to happen when she strings these hits together: Side To Side, Break

Free, Into You and Dangerous Woman. Stage visuals. They say expect the works in an Ariana concert… from fireworks to fiery hot dancers and an even hotter choreograp­hy. Pyrotechni­cs is a staple in Ariana concerts along with laser lights, confetti drops and rising platforms.

Outfit changes. Another concert fixture for Queen Ari are spot-on fashion and costume changes. Expect local celebritie­s to put on their best impression­s of Ariana. The artist’s previous tours are always packed with Hollywood celebritie­s in the audience so the Manila stop wouldn’t be much different; it will have local “stars” in full attendance.

Feminist interlude. Girl power is also one of Ariana’s strong suits. With what happened at her Manchester concert and how she was able to epitomize how to rise after such a tragedy with the One Love show and the way she has been getting in touch with the victims of that horrific act of terror, whether in person or via her social media, adds more to Ariana’s feminist causes. She isn’t just growing up in front of her fans these days. She’s showing up to be a role model, not a very common thing to find in pop stars these days.
