There's a lot of speculative chat on social media at the moment surrounding a 'female popstar' taking on the Super Bowl half-time performance slot next year, with Taylor Swift now being ruled out. Ariana is one of a handful of names that keeps popping up in the discussion and it's now morphed into chat about her live performances from the past.

 

What is the Ariana live performance that stands out the most for you to date?

 

My #1 pick is 'God is a woman' at the 2018 VMAs as it single-handedly turned me into a stan of the song after initially not rating it that much :lol: it's not necessarily Ariana's best vocal but it's my favourite complete package live moment of hers. The staging is wondrous and I love how the performance side feels like one big celebration of women. Props to her star power here, the big note at the end and the heart-warming finish where her mum and grandma step on to the stage as well. Definitely the one with the biggest replay-ability factor for me!

 

('Somewhere Over The Rainbow' at One Love Manchester is a close second - not seeing enough love for that one in these discussions :heart:)

Mine are basically all the Sweetener era performances :lol: :wub:

 

 

The vocal Bible *.*

 

The Crowded House cover with Miley at One Love Manchester really warmed my heart as well :heart:

Well, the speculation was short-lived as Rihanna has announced that she will be performing at the half-time show instead!

 

Anyway, Kath I agree that the 'sweetener' era is a treasure trove of great Ari performances. That whole 'at the BBC' special was a real treat <3

 

Her friendship with Miley is so sweet!
