'Nothing more unfair': Ariana Grande cancels tour dates over allergic reaction to tomatoes
Ariana Grande had to postpone several shows on her Sweetener world tour after suffering an allergic reaction to tomatoes.
And the new food allergy totally took the pop star by surprise.
The "7 Rings" singer, 25, revealed on Instagram Wednesday that she had to push back two shows in Tampa and Orlando to November because her "throat pretty much closed."
"We discovered ..... that ..... i had an unfortunate allergic reaction to tomatoes," Grande wrote. "Still feels like i’m swallowing a cactus but slowly making progress!"
As for any fans who think it's unfair they have to wait nearly six months to see Grande?
"There is NOTHING MORE UNFAIR THAN AN ITALIAN WOMAN DEVELOPING AN ALLERGY TO TOMATOES IN HER MID TWENTIES," she wrote.

Grande, who identifies as an Italian American, describing her nationality as "half Sicilian and half Abruzzese," called "cherry tomatoes (or) tomatoes of any kind" her food obsession years before her allergic reaction.
She thanked her fans or their "love and understanding."
"Can’t wait to get back to performing and to make it up… in November," she added.
