Ariana’s ‘Excuse Me, I Love You’ concert film on Netflix will be released on December 21, 2020. What a great way to end the year. Wondering what time will it be out on Netflix? The special drops at 12 am Pacific Standard Time or 3 am Eastern Standard Time.
Plot
Although Ariana has not spilled the beans on the plot, we can assume fans will get a closer look at the much-acclaimed The Sweetener World Tour. The singer shared a heartfelt note on her Instagram account while announcing the project. Writing to her 208M followers on the photo-sharing app, she said, “Releasing this as a love letter to u all, in celebration of all that we’ve shared over the past few years. I know this project only captures some of one tour (out of all the other hundreds of shows and moments we have shared over the past six or seven years… Jesus lol) but I just wanted to thank u all for showing me more in this lifetime already than I ever dreamed of making music and doing all of this has been all I’ve known or fully given myself to consistently for a very long time now.”
The American singer further said, “Although my heart is looking forward to a change of pace, I wanted to express again just how eternally thankful I am. I’ve learned, seen, and felt so much. It’s been such an honor to share so much of this life with u.”
We are also hoping to get a glimpse of some raw footage from backstage. MEAWW will keep you posted with all the details as soon as they are revealed officially. For the unversed, the name ‘Excuse Me, I Love You’ for the concert film is taken from the lyrics of her single ‘R.E.M'.
Cast and Crew
Since, Ariana has just announced the world tour concert film, the details on the cast and crew are still awaited. Of course, Ariana will be the lead but it will also be interesting if we get to see a few other musicians joining her on stage. MEAWW will keep you updated on the same.
