The discovery came unexpectedly to Grande when she says she suffered an allergic reaction while eating tomatoes ahead of her Tampa gig on May 28.

According to the 25-year-old, her throat closed up after eating the fruit.

“There is nothing more unfair than an Italian woman developing an allergy to tomatoes in her mid-20s,” Grande wrote in the post.

 

“(It) still feels like I’m swallowing a cactus but slowly making progress!” she added.

Although Grande was “beyond devastated” about the postponement, she promised her dedicated Floridian fans that she’ll be returning in November.

“Thank you all for your love and understanding,” she wrote. “I can’t wait to get back to performing and to make it up to Tampa and Orlando in November.”

Grande added in an Instagram story: “I will keep you posted as soon as possible on exact dates, but we will be returning in November, and you will be able to use the tickets you’ve already purchased.
