The celebration continued on August 28th when a special Yours Truly vinyl picture disc was made available, together with the second part of the Q&A. On August 29th, Grande brought to her fans two more live performances of “Tattooed Heart” and “Right There”.
It Was an Eventful Week
The celebration concluded on August 30th, the date of the release anniversary of Yours Truly. It features a live performance of “The Way” and behind-the-scenes footage. Grande had also specified on her Instagram Stories that the deluxe digital release of Yours Truly will have the updated versions of the songs that she had performed from the album during her Live From London performance. The singer and actor also shared that it was a healing and special project for her to do.
Released on August 30th, 2013, Yours Truly was the proper introduction of Ariana Grande to the world. Until then, she had only been familiar to viewers of Nickelodeon’s Victorious, Sam & Cat, and Broadway’s 13.
