Ariana Grande, "Love Me Harder" singer, hit Manila for her "Honeymoon Tour" at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday. This is the first time Ariana performed in the Philippines.

"What a thrilling night!... Mahal kita (I love you)," Grande tweeted.

"You guys are so cute and so, so sweet," Grande told the audience. "So cute. So sweet."

"I just wanted to say thank you. I love you guys so, so much. I wanted to perform for you guys for such a long time... So I'm finally here!"

"I'm happy to finally see you guys in person. I love you guys, thank you so much. And hopefully I'll come back soon," the 22-year-old pop superstar added throughout the concert.

Ariana opened with her big hit "Bang Bang" and sped through "Yours Truly" and "My Everything"-such as "Be My Baby," "Right There," "The Way," "Baby-I" and "Tattooed Heart" before she performed her bigger hits like "One Last Try," "Love Me Harder" and "Honeymoon Avenue."

Grande also covered Whitney Houston and Madonna in a medley.

"This is for all of you who love Madonna and Whitney as much as I do," Grande said before launcing into Madonna's "Vogue" and Whitney's "I'm Every Woman."

Grande captured #1 on the Billboard Top 200 twice within less than a year, first with her Republic Records debut Yours Truly and also with its 2014 follow-up My Everything. Yours Truly yielded the game-changing pop smash "The Way" featuring Mac Miller, which went double-platinum, landed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, and seized #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs chart.

Grande's platinum-selling My Everything garnered a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Pop Vocal Album" and spawned the five-time platinum hit "Problem" featuring Iggy Azalea. Upon the single's release, Ariana became "the youngest woman to debut with over 400K sold first-week", while the song ranked as the 5th "highest digital song debut for a female artist" and 9th highest ever.

Problem debuted at #1 in 85 countries, topping the iTunes Overall Top Songs and Pop Songs charts for four weeks. During release week, My Everything was #1 on Spotify as ARIANA personally rose to #1 on Billboard's Artists 100 chart.

Grande also became the first woman in history and the first artist since Michael Jackson to simultaneously have three songs-"Problem", "Break Free" featuring Zedd, and "Bang Bang" with Nicki Minaj and Jessie J-in the Top 6 of the Digital Songs Chart. "Bang Bang" went platinum and was Grammy-nominated for "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance."

Ariana Grande was named "Best New Artist" at the American Music Awards on 2013. She also won "Favorite Breakout Artist" at the People's Choice Awards 2014, the "Young Influencer Award" at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, the "Radio Disney Chart Topper Award", "Choice Female Artist" and "Choice Single" "Problem" at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards, and more. At the 2014 MTV VMAS, "Problem" was named "Best Pop Video" as well.
