The main stage is dominated by a giant house that becomes more decrepit and overgrown with flowers as the show goes on; if it\u2019s haunted, the spectres are painful memories from the past.

Grande\u2019s overall message tonight seems to fall somewhere between \u2018Thank U, Next\u2019 and \u2018Yes, And?\u2019. She\u2019s doing business as usual until she boxes up her stage costumes in September.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no revealing spiel about her upcoming break from the spotlight, only frictionless stage patter in which the singer thanks fans and professes her love for London, the city she called home while filming <em>Wicked<\/em>. For now, as a performer and a pop conceptualist, Grande has nothing left to prove.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3963102\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3963102\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3963102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ariana-grande-credit-katia-temkin.jpg\" alt=\"Ariana Grande\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2893\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3963102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ariana Grande credit: Katia Temkin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Ariana Grande played:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\">\n<h5 class=\"taboola-mid-article-title\">Recommended<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2018Yes, And?\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Positions\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Dandelion\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018The Boy Is Mine\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Eternal Sunshine\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Just Like Magic\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Thank U, Next\u2019<br \/>\n\u20187 Rings\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Imperfect For You\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Warm\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Safety Net\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018One Last Time\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Rain On Me\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Break Free\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Twilight Zone\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Past Life\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Dangerous Woman\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Honeymoon Avenue\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Hampstead\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Into You\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Hate That I Made You Love Me\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Kiss Me\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Bad Thing (Bunny Hop)\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Petal\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018We Can\u2019t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018Supernatural\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/reviews\/live\/ariana-grande-london-the-o2-residency-live-review-setlist-photos-3963091&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ariana-grande-live-review-credit-katia-temkin.jpg&#8221;] Ariana Grande credit: Katia Temkin ReviewsLive Reviews Ariana Grande live in London: brilliant business-as-usual before the singer takes a break from the spotlight The O2, Saturday, August 15: at the opening night of her London residency, the singer reminds us of her showstopping vocals and well-honed performance skills 5 By Nick Levine [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,78],"class_list":["post-2099075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-nme-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2099075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2099075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2099075\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2099075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2099075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2099075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
