Ariana Grande kicked off her much-anticipated Sweetener tour last night in Albany, New York and social media was completely lit up with fans sharing all the amazing details.

Grande paid tribute to her ex-boyfriend, the late Mac Miller, by playing his music before she took the stage. According to BBC.com, she left “Ghostin” and “Imagine,” both of which are about their relationships, off the setlist.
