Ariana Grande releases Dangerous Woman anniversary edition

Ariana Grande said on May 20 that she had released a 10th-anniversary edition of “Dangerous Woman,” revisiting the album that first came out on May 20, 2016. In an Instagram post described in widely shared fan-account screenshots, Grande said the special edition includes a new cover and a bonus track titled “Knew Better Part Two.” Fan accounts that reposted the announcement said Grande thanked listeners for “a decade of love and memories” and tied the release to the album’s anniversary. ### What exactly did Grande announce on May 20? May 20 was the 10-year anniversary of “Dangerous Woman,” Grande’s third studio album, which was released through Republic Records on May 20, 2016. Fan accounts tracking Grande’s post said she announced a special edition tied to that date rather than a full rerecording or a separate new album. The Instagram post, as described in social-media reposts cited in the briefing, said the anniversary package carries a new cover and adds “Knew Better Part Two” as a bonus track. (en.wikipedia.org) Those reposts also said Grande thanked fans for supporting the album over the past decade. ### Is there any official sign beyond the Instagram post? Grande’s official online store is carrying “Dangerous Woman” products dated May 20, 2026, including a 2LP vinyl listed at $32.99 and a digital album listed at $10.00. (en.wikipedia.org) The store also shows CD and apparel tied to the album era. The 2LP listing on Grande’s store says it ships on May 20, 2026, and includes the original album track list ending with “Knew Better/Forever Boy” and “Thinking Bout You.” The store pages visible through web results do not independently spell out the Instagram-only additions described in fan reposts, but they do show an active official retail rollout around the anniversary date.

The album’s original guest list included Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Macy Gray and Future, according to the album’s official-era and catalog listings. (shop.arianagrande.com) Its anniversary has already been used across Grande’s wider brand: her r.e.m. beauty line launched a limited “Dangerous Woman” collection earlier this month, with product names that referenced songs from the album. ### What about the “31 million certified copies” claim? (en.wikipedia.org) The social-media briefing for this story says Grande’s post stated that “Dangerous Woman” had reached 31 million certified copies in the United States as of May 20, 2026. Reuters could not independently verify that figure through a primary certification database in the material reviewed for this article, and the number appears in reposted social-media descriptions rather than in a source page directly accessible here. (en.wikipedia.org) For that reason, the anniversary release itself is confirmed more clearly than the certification total. The verifiable pieces are the date, the album’s original 2016 release, and the official store listings that went live around the anniversary. ### What comes next for fans looking for the release? May 20 store listings on Grande’s official shop show the “Dangerous Woman” 2LP shipping that day and other album formats already posted for sale. (en.wikipedia.org) The next concrete step for fans is the official storefront and Grande’s own Instagram account, where any full track details, artwork, or digital-release specifics would be expected to appear first.
