Ariana Grande's First 'Sweetener' Concert: 7 Costume Changes, Wild Choreography, and a Mac Miller Tribute

From ELLE

Ariana Grande's very first Sweetener World Tour concert took place last night in Albany, and there was a lot to take in. Grande sang songs from Sweetener and Thank U, Next, along with some favorites from her older discography. There was killer dancing, a sweet tribute to Mac Miller, and many great costume changes that fans and Grande herself thoroughly documented on social media.

Here, all the details you should know about.

Grande's 7 Outfits, All With Matching Over-the-Knee Boots

Grande surprised fans with several outfit changes during her show, and her tour wardrobe contained several dramatic pieces, styled by Law Roach, in colors as striking as orange and as subdued as lavender.

There was an orange puffer coat, bralette, scalloped skirt, and matching knee-high boots:

A red belt top with an attached choker and princess sleeves, knee-high boots, and a belted miniskirt:

A yellow and blue plaid Clueless-esque pleated miniskirt, bralette, and thigh-high boots:

A black patent mini dress with thigh-high boots:

An all-pink ensemble made custom by Michael Ngo: a light pink tiered skirt, bralette, and winged sleeve component. Over-the-knee boots completed that look too, obviously:

Plus, she added a graffitied pink jacket later on:

Grande's most NASA-inspired look was the striking lavender ensemble she wore under her set's giant moon: lavender zip-up chaps, a matching sleeveless top, and silver boots. Those were also custom, by Michael Ngo:

Grande's Minimalist Set Design

Grande's minimalist backdrop changed over the course of the set, with the help of jaw-dropping light projections. Umbrellas and other more abstract shapes took over the backdrop as the music progressed, and at one point, a giant moon appeared.

Grande's Singing and Choreography

Fans shared videos all night of Grande's spirited vocal performances and dancing.

Here's a glimpse of Grande's tour interpretation of "Bad Idea":

Grande's Feelings About Her First Show (and Miley Cyrus's Sweet Comment About It)

Grande posted nine Instagrams from her first night on tour. She personally gave a glimpse of her giant moon set on stage and herself singing "7 Rings" and "Successful."
