On Saturday (8.19,) Ariana Grande took to social media announcing a week’s worth of surprises in celebration of the tenth anniversary of her Yours Truly full length that debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in 2013.
In a video posted to Instagram featuring a collection of past and present footage, the now 30-year-old pop star/actress confirmed that the celebration begins on Friday (8.25) with a deluxe digital version of Yours Truly, complete with newly recorded live performances of “Honeymoon Avenue” and “Daydreamin’.”
On Saturday (8.26), Grande will release part one of a Q&A and a merch capsule, followed by a live performance of “Baby I” on Sunday (8.27). On Monday (8.28) there will be an unspecified vinyl pre-order, along with part two of the Q&A, followed by two more live performances (“Tattooed Heart” and “Right There”) on Tuesday (8.29.) Marking the formal 10th anniversary of Yours Truly, the celebration concludes on Wednesday (8.30) with a live performance of “The Way” and “some behind the scenes stuff we found,” according to the singer.
Grande took to her Instagram Stories to specify that the deluxe digital release of Yours Truly will feature “the Live from London, updated versions of the songs we performed from” the album. The “7 Rings” singer added, “I can’t wait for you to hear them. This was such a healing and special project to do.”
Released Aug. 30, 2013 via Republic Records, Yours Truly served as the world’s proper introduction to the pint-sized star with major pipes who, up until then, had only been familiar to tweens as the star of Nickelodeon’s Victorious, its spinoff Sam & Cat and Broadway’s 13.
