Fans inside the arena erupted as Ariana made her long-awaited return to the stage, opening a show that blended songs from her “Eternal Sunshine” era with some of the biggest hits from her catalog.
Concertgoers were treated to performances of fan-favorite tracks including “the boy is mine” “supernatural” and “hate that i made you love me” — with multiple costume changes, including a dominatrix-style cat costume.
The tour launch marks a major moment for Ariana, who has largely focused on acting in recent years, earning critical acclaim for her role as Glinda in the blockbuster ‘Wicked’ films while stepping away from large-scale touring.

Needless to say, the Arianators showed up in full force. Social media quickly filled with clips from the opening night, with fans celebrating everything from the vocals to the elaborate visuals and emotional setlist — as she ended the show by levitating into the ceiling.
The Oakland show is just the beginning of a massive run that will take Ariana across North America and overseas in the coming months.
Bottom line … after years away from the touring circuit, one thing became crystal clear Saturday night … Ari’s still got it.
