The singer, 25, hit the stage to perform herempowering new single“God Is a Woman” alongside a group of more than 50 diverse dancers emulating Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper.
During the subdued and sensual performance, Grande took the stage in a studded golden corset top with a matching skirt, panties, and of course, a pair of over-the-knee boots. The singer alsoleft her signature sky-high ponytail at home, opting to rock the same long, flowing style she was seen arriving at the annual awards show with.

A follow-up to “No Tears Left to Cry,” “God Is a Woman” is the second single off Grande’s fourth studio album,Sweetener,out now.
During an appearance onThe Tonight Showlast week, Grande revealed theinspiration behind the track, as well as the stamp of approval she received from Madonna, whose voice appears in a surprise monologue in the music video.
“Yeah I texted her, which is so cool. I can text [with Madonna],” she told hostJimmy Fallon. “Without Madonna, I wouldn’t be able to make a song like that. She paved the way for all of us and has been here fighting that fight way longer than any of us. She’s the coolest. She’s a bad bitch.”
And it just so happens her fiancéPete Davidsonput the track at the top of his favorites list.
“My top 5? ‘God Is a Woman’ because that s— f— hard. Seriously that s— bangs. That slaps hard,” theSaturday Night Livestar, 24, said on social media on Aug. 11 ahead of the album’s release.
Davidson added, “They’re all sick.”
