Ariana Grande performed onstage for the first time since tying the knot with her new hubby
Dalton Gomez, and though we couldn’t keep our eyes off of her new wedding ring, fans
also couldn’t help but notice that a bunch of her tattoos are missing!
— Let’s get into it
Just one day after sharing the first photos of her intimate wedding ceremony where we
finally got to see Ari in her beautiful wedding gown on full display, she made her way back
on stage Thursday night, still basking in her newlywed glow.
And it was definitely a night of many firsts for Ariana as she and The Weeknd performed
their remix to his song 'Save Your Tears’ in front of a live crowd for the very first
time.
Abel was the first of the two stars to take the stage and kick off the award show singing
and working the crowd in the same slick black suit and tie we saw him rock at the Billboard
Awards just a couple of weeks ago.
A minute into The Weeknd's performance, Ari made her surprise entrance from behind a stage
wall — in an outfit very similar to her wedding gown but in purple — seamlessly
picking up from where he'd left off — and Arianators in the crowd literally lost their
minds!
Ari looked genuinely ecstatic to be back around her fans as she playfully twirled across the
stage and at some point she even went on to work her signature high whistle notes into
the song.
Take a look:
Ari and Abel crushed the rest of their number that ended with a sweet hug and other heartwarming
gestures of love and respect for one another.
I mean, with such amazing energy and chemistry, who could’ve ever guessed that these two
stars hadn’t performed together on stage in 7 years!
Now we also have to talk about the big elephant in the room — or rather the big rock in
the room!
Yup, everyone’s eyes were glued to Ariana’s left hand during her latest performance as
she debuted her wedding ring in public and in action.
During the camera close-ups we all caught a glimpse of Ari’s platinum and diamond
wedding band which was designed by none other than Dalton himself with the help of jewelers
Solo & Co.
And the band actually complements Ari's diamond and pearl engagement ring, which Dalton also
helped design when he proposed to her back in December of last year.
But as Ariana is busy showing off her new wedding ring, some of her tattoos seem to
be disappearing as of late...
In the breathtaking pictures she shared from her big day, Ari apparently either had most
of her body art covered with makeup or permanently removed.
Her two butterfly tattoos on her left upper arm seemed to have flown away overnight and
taken the Pokémon character Eevee she had on her other arm along with them.
At first, Ariantaros speculated that she had simply concealed her arm tattoos for a more
traditional look on her wedding day -- though she did leave the ink on her hands untouched
as well as the “Truman Show” quote on her back...
But now that Ari showed up to her latest performance with mostly bare arms it could be a sign that
she may have gotten rid of some of them for good -- however, it’s worth noting that
her Chihiro tat on her right arm did make a comeback.
If Ari’s plan is to indeed have most of her extensive collection removed from skin
then she has a looong road ahead of her as she reportedly has more than 55 tattoos!
And at least four of those tats she had them done while she was dating Pete Davidson but
Ari went on to cover them with other designs after their 2018 breakup.
Like Pete’s late father’s fighter badge number 8418 that she had originally gotten
on her left foot and later had it replaced with the name of Mac Miller’s dog, Myron,
as a tribute to her ex boyfriend who as you all know passed away in 2018...
Well, we’re just gonna have to wait and see if Ariana is in fact going for a new look
with less ink on her body or if maybe this is a new trend where you cover some of your
tats you don’t feel like showing that day…
Who knows...
