Ariana Grande fuels Ricky Alvarez dating rumors with another wild lyric change

Ariana Grande dropped another major hint that she and ex Ricky Alvarez are rekindling their romance.

During the singer’s Monday performance, she changed the lyrics in her hit song “Thank U, Next,” which name-drops several of her former boyfriends.

In the original lyrics to the 2018 song, the Grammy winner laments, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh.”

However, during her latest performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Grande sang, “Wrote some songs about Ricky/ We always find our way back.”

In a clip from the “Eternal Sunshine” tour stop shared by a fan via social media, the audience immediately erupted with screams over the not-so-subtle lyric change.

Grande’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The “Victorious” alum’s cheeky hint comes on the heels of her making headlines for multiple outings with Alvarez — nearly a decade after their breakup.

Page Six obtained photos of the duo, who dated between 2015 and 2016, on a shopping run together over the Fourth of July weekend.

At the time, the former couple were photographed leaving a Whole Foods in Boca Raton, Florida, with grocery bags.

The Grammy winner and her former backup dancer also hung out in June, the same month news broke of the songwriter splitting from boyfriend Ethan Slater.

Photos circulated of the two out to eat in Texas, though a source insisted to TMZ at the time that there “is nothing romantic between Ariana and Ricky this time around.”

But during her Austin concert right around that time, Grande did another “Thank U, Next” lyric tweak, gushing that he has “still got [her] back.”

Alvarez’s reaction was caught on camera, with him proudly shaking a friend’s hand.

The exes have seemingly remained friendly over the years and were spotted together in January 2019.

After their short-lived romance, the singer moved on with Mac Miller, ex-fiancé Pete Davidson, Dalton Gomez — whom she was married to from 2021 to 2024 — and Slater.

On June 8, Page Six confirmed that Grande and her “Wicked” co-star quietly split after three years of dating. An insider told us the former pair broke up “several months” before news broke.
