Ariana Grande took some time out from her busy tour schedule to enjoy a day out in Queensland, Australia earlier this week. The One Last Time singer paid a visit to Australia Zoo on Monday, where she met Bindi Irwin, whose parents Terri and Steve Irwin ran the wildlife conservation facility together.
During her day out Ariana had the chance to cuddle koalas and hold a meerkat, and shared some photos and videos from the trip with her 113 million Instagram followers. "My arm is sore from koala holding," she tweeted afterwards.

The 24-year-old only has three shows left of her world tour, which was suspended in May following the terrorist attack at her concert at Manchester Arena. The horrendous attack saw 22 people lose their lives, while a further 59 people were injured.

In July, Ariana was named the first ever honorary citizen of Manchester in recognition to her response to the terrorist attack, with the singer saying she was "moved" by the honour. "I don't know what to say. Words don't suffice. I'm moved and honoured. My heart is very much still there. I love you. Thank you."
