I attended the Ariana Grande: Dangerous Woman concert on February 14, 2017. I decided to go very last minute with one of my friends because we were already going to be in town for a Little Mix concert and meet-and-greet I had for on a local radio station. The Ariana Grande concert was amazing, and I am not a huge fan of her music. There are three reasons I loved this concert and that made it one of the best concerts I have ever attended.
First of all her opening acts were amazing. Victoria Monet was the first opener. I honestly thought she did a good job entertaining the crowd, but she was definitely more of a dancer than a singer. The second opener was Little Mix and they wax out of this world. I could've listened to an entire concert of just them. Their spunky personalities and fantastic voices reminded me a little of the Spice Girls. You could tell the crowd loved them as well.
Secondly, the production value was incredible. For her song "Problem" the male dancers came on stage with aquamarine light-saber like beams that were very cool. During "Dangerous Woman," there were many different pyrotechnics. Throughout the entire concert, the spotlights were used to create different atmospheres. The production was very polished; I did not see any mistakes. The crew must have worked very hard on the production.
Lastly, Ariana sang for almost 2 hours straight. She seamlessly went from one song to the next, only pausing to change outfits, and even during that time there was still music playing. I usually don't stand for the entirety of a concert, just because I usually get tired, but during this concert, I only sat down briefly because I couldn’t feel my toes from standing the whole time. The concert was the perfect mix of her old classics like "Bang Bang" and her newer songs like "Side to Side." Her set list kept the audience singing along with her and that created an extremely fun atmosphere to be a part of. Ariana barely addressed the audience, which I appreciated, because sometimes I feel like artists waste time when they engage too much with the audience.
Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman tour was a 10/10 for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the opening acts and that prepared me for the awesome concert Ariana followed with. Her set list kept everyone energized and her enthusiasm was apparent even from far away. Ariana entertained for the whole concert, and I would definitely recommend anyone to go see it. I would pay to see it again for sure.
