Ariana Grande has released a statement to fans regarding concert ticket resellers after the North American dates of her 2026 Eternal Sunshine Tour went on sale, and quickly sold out, earlier this week on Ticketmaster. Though face value tickets are not currently available, ticket inventory can be found at inflated prices on the resale market– on Ticketmaster and on platforms including StubHub, TickPick, SeatGeek and more.

The singer posted an Instagram Story addressing the situation on Saturday (Sept. 13).


“hi my angels, i have been on set all week but i wanted to let you know that what’s been happening with the secondary ticket resellers has been brought to my attention and of course i am incredibly bothered by it,” Grande wrote in her message.

These Were Canada's No. 1 Songs and Albums in 2016

As everyone on social media yearns for a decade ago, we take a look at the landmark year for Canadian music when the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Albums charts were ruled by Justin Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara and more.

The year is 2016: skinny jeans are in style, Instagram photo filters are all the rage, TikTok doesn't exist and Canadian artists are ruling the Billboard charts.

A decade later, many are yearning for the recent past. Decade-old photo carousels have flooded social media feeds. Somehow, 2016 is the latest trend to take over Instagram and TikTok, nostalgically romanticizing a pre-pandemic world before AI ruled, the world, brainrot wasn't a thing and basic human rights weren’t being stripped stateside (though there was also a notable election that year).
