Ariana Grande has made it clear she’s a fan of London - by naming one of her upcoming tracks Hampstead.
The singer and actress, 31, spent loads of time in the UK as she was filming Wicked, and she clearly fell under Hampstead’s charm as one of the tracks on her deluxe version of her latest album is dedicated to one of the oldest areas of London.
Also on the new version of number one album eternal sunshine - which is called eternal sunshine: brighter days ahead - are tracks called intro (end of the world) extended, twilight zone, warm, dandelion and past life.
It will be released on March 28.

“I was in Hampstead when I was here, and I loved my walks on the Heath,” she said. “I loved meandering around and visiting different shops and places and pubs.”
She also said it was the place where she discovered her love of Sunday roasts.
“I didn’t know what a Sunday roast was, but I know that that’s a thing now. I didn’t know what that was and now I do and I’m changed for the better,” she continued.
Ariana, who owns nine dogs, also said she loved seeing pets in the park.
“It’s so delightful and fun, and there are so many dogs and Vizslas in the heath,” she said. “There were so many Vizslas in Hampstead Heath. I loved seeing them.”
It comes as following her time shooting Wicked, Ariana revealed that she doesn’t plan to tour her eternal sunshine album.
“I have no plans for live shows at the moment, I was thinking about doing a mini-tour in between the Wicked films, but that is no longer happening,” she told the Variety Awards Circuit podcast.
Grande added: “I know that I would like to have this chapter be focused on acting. I would like to stay right here, and I would love to do more films.”
