Ariana Grande<\/strong> gave a sweet shoutout to ex Ricky Alvarez<\/strong> during her Everlasting Sunshine Tour<\/em> stop in Austin, Texas, changing the lyrics to one in every of her hit tracks.<\/p>\n

As an alternative of singing, \u201cWrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh,\u201d Grande, 33, belted out, \u201cWrote some songs about Ricky, know he still got my back,\u201d while performing \u201cThank U, Next\u201d on Friday, June 26.<\/p>\n

Alvarez, for his part, was within the VIP audience on Friday in the course of the performance. He was seen smiling as Grande swapped the lyrics, per a video<\/a> captured by a fan.<\/p>\n

Grande and Alvarez, 33, were first romantically linked in 2015 before parting ways the next yr. In 2018, Grande dropped her \u201cThank U, Next\u201d track, referencing a lot of her former flames including Alvarez, Big Sean, Pete Davidson<\/strong> and the late Mac Miller.<\/strong> (Miller died in 2018 of an accidental overdose. He was 26.)<\/p>\n
