From enduring the Manchester Arena Bombing after her concert in 2017 to her late ex-boyfriend rapper Mac Miller鈥檚 death in 2018, Ariana Grande鈥檚 music career has taken many bends and turns.

Following the horrific events that played out in her life, Ariana鈥檚 Grammy winning album 鈥淪weetener鈥 (2018) and record-breaking album 鈥渢hank u next鈥 (2019) have explored the themes of hurting and healing, allowing her fans to understand both the pain and loss she was going through. 

Following the release of 鈥渢hank u next鈥, Ariana embarked on the highly successful Sweetener World Tour, which ended up being her high grossing tour in her music career. The tour was highly praised for the high quality visuals and the iconic looks Grande displayed throughout the three legs. 

鈥渆xcuse me, i love you鈥 is a documentary that follows both the on-stage and off-stage scenes and events that occurred during the Sweetener World Tour, directed by Paul Dugdale. The Netflix original documentary dropped on Dec. 23, peaking at #2 in the top 10 list of movies. 

The film, named after the lyrics of 鈥淩.E.M.,鈥 her favorite song in 鈥淪weetener,鈥 not only showcased Ariana鈥檚 vocal talents, but her backstage relationships with her friends, family, dancers, and more. The film also explores Grande moving on from her past traumatic experiences by focusing on performing for her fans and expressing her love for music. 

The film鈥檚 clips of the high quality visuals of the concerts are worth mentioning. The Sweetener World Tour鈥檚 visuals highly centered on the 鈥渙rb鈥 played in the middle of the screen on the main stage. The orb, dubbed as the 鈥渕oon,鈥 evolved during the longevity of the show, changing colors and aesthetics to suit the moods of the song that was performed. 

The short but sweet behind the scenes clips added more emotion and personality to the 97 minutes documentary. From Ari鈥檚 excitement at being part of Mariah Carey鈥檚 2019 鈥淎ll I Want For Christmas鈥 video to her hanging out with her closest friends prior to the shows to emotionally expressing her gratitude for the show, the scenes allow fans to discover what their favorite artists did prior and subsequent to the shows.

鈥渆xcuse me, i love you鈥 captivates Grande鈥檚 fans by allowing exclusive looks and high quality clips of her concert, allowing the fans who didn鈥檛 attend the concert to experience close-up looks and those who attended the concert to relive the moment of fascination.
