After Live Nation announced that the Tampa and Orlando tour stops were cancelled, Grande took to Instagram to reveal that the cancellations were a result of an adult-onset tomato allergy: “We discovered ….. that ….. i had an unfortunate allergic reaction to tomatoes and my throat pretty much closed, still feels like i’m swallowing a cactus but slowly making progress! thank u all for your love and understanding.”

Grande went on: “p.s. there is NOTHING MORE UNFAIR THAN AN ITALIAN WOMAN DEVELOPING AN ALLERGY TO TOMATOES IN HER MID TWENTIES.”
