Ariana Grande hinted that she is ready to settle down with boyfriend Ricky Alvarez during the final show of her Eternal Sunshine Tour at The O2 in London on Tuesday.
The singer, 33, has rekindled her relationship with the former backup dancer, 35, whom she previously dated from 2015 to 2016, in June.
During her tour, she has been constantly changing the lyrics to her song Thank U, Next, in which she references her ex-boyfriends.
Though she normally sings, ‘Wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh’, Grande has been revising the line at her recent shows.
And on Tuesday, she sparked marriage speculation when she changed it to, ‘Wrote some songs about Ricky, I’m tryna make him my last.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to Grande’s representatives for comment.

Previously, at her July 13 show in New York City, Grande sang, ‘Wrote some songs about Ricky, we always find our way back.’
And at her show on June 26, she changed the lyrics to, ‘Wrote some songs about Ricky, I know he still got my back.’ Alvarez was in the audience next to her parents in the VIP section for the show.
She also changed the line at her June 24 show in Austin, singing, ‘Wrote some songs about Ricky, now they kinda slap.’
After a fan shared a video of the latest lyric change on X, social media erupted with excitement as one fan cheered, ‘THE MARRIAGE IS COMING.’
‘The wedding is coming any time soon!!’ someone else concurred.
‘Oh RICKIANA ENDGAME,’ another quipped.
‘From “now I listen and laugh” all the way to “I’m tryna make him my last” in one tour,’ someone else marveled.
‘I know he’s about to propose,’ another fan added.
Though some fans were less convinced, with one noting, ‘she said that about ethan and dalton chile,’ in reference to her ex-boyfriend Ethan Slater and her ex-husband Dalton Gomez.

It comes after Grande appeared to have gotten a tattoo paying tribute to their on-again relationship.
The new ink – a collarbone tattoo which reads ‘I do love you’ – was spotted on her collarbone as she kicked off her 10-day residency at the O2 last month.
It’s a design that is nearly identical to a tattoo Alvarez has; he has the same phrase inked beside his collarbone, but in a different design.
This comes shortly after she went Instagram official with Alvarez and shared loved-up photos last month.
She shared mirror selfies of them embracing and, in her post, included a close-up image of ‘I do love you’ written in blue marker inside of her journal.
He previously shared a selfie on Instagram with what appears to be his same tattoo in July 2025.
She was previously in a relationship with her Wicked costar Slater for three years. The pair announced their breakup earlier this year. In June, it was reported that Grande and Slater quietly called it quits several months earlier.

Following her last show on Tuesday the singer – who is suffering with a foot injury – will be taking a planned career break ‘amid ongoing scrutiny.’
She recently sparked fan concern with her Petal video, directed by Christian Breslauer, where the Oscar-nominated actress looked alarmingly thin and her ribs were visible on her chest.
Earlier this month, Ariana clarified that her career hiatus had been ‘quietly planned a long time ago’ before insisting that the decision was not made because ‘negativity was ruining things for me’.
Ariana explained on stage at one of her shows: ‘Multiple things can be true at the same time. Yes, boundaries, they need to be set. Human beings can need a break sometimes.’
She added that her tour, which she kicked off in North America in June, ‘will continue to be the greatest experience of my professional and creative life’.
Ariana’s exit from the spotlight means she has decided to bow out of her starring role in the London production of Sunday In The Park With George at the Barbican Centre in summer 2027.
