"Whoever made Ariana’s sweetener tour merch, i just want to talk." Some Ariana Grande fans are disappointed over the singer's Sweetener Tour merch.
Ariana Grande officially kicked off her Sweetener tour this week. The thank u next singer is playing a setlist of pure hits and her sold out shows have even included, what many believe to be, a tribute to Mac Miller. While things on the Sweetener tour are off to a strong start, fans are officially divided over the merch being sold on the Sweetener tour.
QUIZ: Are you more 'Sweetener' or 'thank u, next'?

Fans can buy t-shirts, hoodies, and crew necks at Sweetener concert venues. The clothing items range in colour and design and are typically priced at $40-$65.
Some of the items are emblazzened with thank u, next and Sweetener song titles, while others feature photos of Ariana's face or Sweetener tour dates.
However, not everyone was impressed with what was on sale.

Ariana Grande fans are a very loyal bunch, but some couldn't help but call out the designs.
I really like Ariana’s tour merch it’s suppose to look 90’s / 00’s themed ‘vintage’ I don’t understand the hate on it I think it’s really cute 🤷🏻♀️

The merch was a CHOICE. Ariana likes it. If you don’t, that’s ok! But keep the tl positive today because today is an important day to Ariana. In my opinion the merch is cute but not my fav! And that’s ok! But I’m so proud of Ariana. The merch isn’t as important as the bomb show !

Merch aside, there's no denying the fact that Ariana Grande's Sweetener tour is already a hit with fans. The Grammy Award winning album and its follow up, thank u, next, have broken streaming records and catapulted Ari to new and dizzying heights of success. So, in the grand scheme of things, the merch might not be amazing but fans are still loving the singer's current era.
Besides, Ari has plenty of cute merch on her website.
