Ariana Grande is “honored” to have Ella Mai support her on the European leg of her ‘Sweetener World Tour’.

And the rising R&B star re-tweeted her post and added: “I CANNOT WAIT” with the heart emoji.
Before supporting the ‘Break Up With Your Girlfriend’ hitmaker, the 25-year-old singer – who is from London – will head out on her own debut headline run in the US, with fellow R&B star Mahalia and Victoria Monet playing select dates, which runs through much of April and May.
February saw Ella and DJ Mustard pick up a Grammy for ‘Boo’d Up’ for Best R&B Song, which was an overwhelming experience for the singer, who was going through a “whirlwind of emotions” after the big win.
She said at the time: “I feel like I’ve dreamed of this moment since I was a little girl. And to do it with Mustard, as well, is incredible.”
Asked what she was lining up after picking up her first ever Grammy, Ella – who released her debut self-titled album in October 2018 to critical acclaim – replied: “Honestly, I’m trying to get through tonight, and then I’ll figure out what’s next. I think there’s just such a whirlwind of emotions going on right now, I just want to really live in this moment, and we’ll think about tomorrow.”
Ella supported Bruno Mars on his ’24K Magic World Tour’ in the run-up to releasing her first record.
