Ariana Grande’s Career Why These Austin Shows Matter
Grande is the first artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with her first three chart entries. “Thank U, Next,” “7 Rings,” and “Positions” — all released on Republic Records — each entered the chart at the top position on their respective debut weeks.
She held five simultaneous top 10 positions on the Hot 100 in November 2019, a feat matched only by the Beatles in 1964 and Drake in 2018. Eternal Sunshine, released March 8, 2024, on Republic Records, extended her run with “we can’t be friends (wait for your love)” and “the boy is mine” both reaching the Hot 100 top 5.
The Eternal Sunshine Tour is her first headline run in seven years. The tour debuted a rolling house stage reported to be the first of its kind deployed in North America, opening at Oakland Arena in June before reaching Austin.
Grande last performed in Austin on March 31, 2015, at the Frank Erwin Center on the Honeymoon Tour. The Moody Center, which replaced Frank Erwin Center in 2022, makes these shows her Austin debut at the current home of large-scale concerts on the University of Texas campus.
