Ariana Grande has launched a Christmas edition of the Sweetener Tour in which she surprises concert-goers with expensive gifts.
Ariana Grande has kicked off the final leg of her Sweetener Tour and she's rearranged the show to celebrate Christmas.
Earlier this week, Ariana Grande's 2015 holiday EP, Christmas & Chill, soared into the Top 10 of the US iTunes Charts and it's all because she's recently edited her Sweetener Tour setlist to include a medley of her own original Christmas songs. Ariana is now treating fans to live versions of 'December', 'True Love', 'Wit It This Christmas', 'Santa Tell Me' and 'Winter Things', alongside all of her biggest hits. The tour ends on December 22, so Ari will be spreading the holiday cheer until then.

That's not all though. On top of the new setlist, Ariana is surprising concert-goers with gifts worth hundreds of dollars.
Say what?! Yes. If you're attending the Sweetener Tour between now and the final show on December 22, you could actually come home with a gift worth more than the tickets you paid to attend the show in the first place. Following Ariana's concert in Uniondale on Saturday (Nov 9), fans have been posting videos of Ariana throwing actual gifts to her fans in the audience during her Christmas medley.
Not only that but people have been posting images of gifts they received from Ariana during the show and some of them are crazy expensive. Since the concert took place, fans have revealed that Ariana has given them genuine Tiffany earrings and rings, Tamagotchis, $100 Visa gift cards and $100 Starbucks gift cards. Each gift includes a hand-written note from Ari.
Before the performance, Ariana's team also surprised fans with ticket upgrades from the upper levels of the arena to the pit. Ariana previously teased that she was doing something special on the new leg of her tour by posting an Instagram story of her holding envelopes with the words top secret written on them.
