Ariana Grande is marking an important milestone for her latest musical project as her eighth studio album, *Petal*, officially completes one month since its release.

On Monday, August 31, the pop superstar celebrated the occasion by taking to Instagram Stories and sharing several behind-the-scenes moments connected to the album. Grande reposted clips from interviews, music videos, and other moments from the creative process behind *Petal*, giving fans a look back at the work that went into the record.

“Happy one month of petal!!! My baby that i love so,” Grande wrote while sharing a clip from an interview. In the interview, she described the album as one of the most intimate creative experiences she has had throughout her career.

The singer also used the milestone to thank her fans for supporting the album since its release. Sharing another clip from the music video for *hate that i made you love me*, Grande expressed her appreciation for the response the project has received.

“Thank you all for showing this album so much love,” she wrote. She later added, “Happy one month, sweet petals,” addressing her fans with a personal message.

The celebration comes as Grande continues her *eternal sunshine* tour. The tour began on June 6 and is scheduled to conclude on September 1, making the release of *Petal* part of an especially busy period for the singer.

Grande has also attracted considerable attention recently because of her renewed relationship with Ricky Alvarez. The couple’s relationship became public again during the tour after Grande appeared to confirm their reconciliation through a change to the lyrics of one of her most recognizable songs.

During the Austin, Texas, stop of the tour, Grande performed her 2018 hit *thank u, next* and made a noticeable change to the song’s lyrics. Instead of singing the original line, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh,” she sang, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / We always find our way back.”

The altered lyrics quickly caught the attention of fans, with many interpreting the change as confirmation that Grande and Alvarez had rekindled their romance.

The two first dated around a decade ago, making their renewed relationship a notable development for fans who have followed Grande’s personal life and career over the years.

Since appearing to reunite, Grande and Alvarez have become increasingly open about their relationship. The pair have shared glimpses of each other on social media, offering fans occasional moments from their rekindled romance.

They have also taken their relationship a step further by getting matching tattoos. The tattoos reportedly feature the phrases “I do love you” and “baby doll,” adding another personal touch to their renewed relationship.

With *Petal* reaching its one-month milestone and her tour nearing its conclusion, Grande is currently experiencing an eventful period both professionally and personally. Her latest album continues to receive attention from fans, while her renewed relationship with Alvarez has added another major talking point around the pop star.
