Ariana Grande is upping the security at her upcoming Sweetener tour dates by introducing a clear bag policy.
The Thank U Next singer took to Instagram to share the news and let her fans know, writing;
dear sweetener / thank u next tour audience friends, 🌫✉️ we’re sending out emails soon encouraging you to order a clear bag to bring your things into the venues as security is going to be very precise and smooth but for sure super strict. they’re super cheap and simple but having them ahead of time will for sure help things go as smooth as possible so if you see this in your emails please don’t ignore it! my team n i appreciate it very much! p.s. any clear bags within a certain size (all info will be in the ✉️) are totally fine to bring if you already have your own, i just wanted to make sure you saw these and knew about all this ahead of time so everything can go as smoothly and safely as possible. love you. thank you!
The singer clapped back on Instagram after a fan joked the bags she's selling were going to cost 'at least $80 dollars', saying;
"They're $8 lol. This is [about] safety. Plus you can totally bring your own. But go off for sure."
The increased safety measures are being enforced after a terrorist attack during her previous 'Dangerous Woman' tour in Manchester Arena back in 2017 which claimed the lives of 22 people.
I think all artists should introduce bringing clear bags to gigs like @ArianaGrande is doing. As a regular gig goer I know it would make me feel safer.
