Star performed in city for the first time since a benefit gig for those killed at her concert in 2017
The last time
Ariana Grande performed in Manchester, in the harrowing days after the blast that killed 22 people and injured hundreds more at one of her concerts there, her tribute show began with a minute’s silence and the words: “Let’s not be afraid, Manchester.”
She returned to the city in sparkling style on Sunday night, dazzling through a party playlist as she pledged her undying love to a place that has made her its own since the attack on 22 May 2017.
