In the original lyrics to the 2018 song, the Grammy winner laments, \u201cWrote some songs about Ricky \/ Now I listen and laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, during her latest performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Grande sang, \u201cWrote some songs about Ricky\/ We always find our way back.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a clip from the Eternal Sunshine tour stop shared by a fan via social media, the audience immediately erupted with screams over the not-so-subtle lyric change.<\/p>\n
Grande\u2019s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
The star\u2019s cheeky hint comes on the heels of her making headlines for multiple outings with Alvarez \u2014 nearly a decade after their break-up.<\/p>\n
Page Six obtained photos of the duo, who dated between 2015 and 2016, on a shopping run together over the Fourth of July weekend.<\/p>\n

At the time, the former couple were photographed leaving a Whole Foods in Boca Raton, Florida, with grocery bags.<\/p>\n
