Ariana whose Twitter followers count to 61.1 million followers recently made an announcement on the site that she will be headlining the Manchester Pride concert in August.

"manchester babes, i’m so thrilled to be headlining pride. my heart. i cant wait to see u and i love u so so much."

Several hours after announcing the news, when a fan asked the artist to do an actual tour, Grande insisted that she is actually working on something special for her fans indicating that the Pride tour won't be the only tour she will be doing in Manchester.
