Ariana Grande is building up for a very special moment coming soon, a moment of joy in the wake of an emotional period surrounding increased attention on her love life.

A little over a month ago, it was revealed that the singer, 30, and her husband of two years, Dalton Gomez, were splitting up. And soon after, reports emerged that she was dating Ethan Slater, her co-star on the theatrical adaptation of Wicked, who is in the midst of his own divorce from wife Lilly Jay.

However, August 30 marks a big day for Ariana, as it is the milestone 10th anniversary of her album Yours Truly, her debut record released back in 2013.
