Ariana Grande is just one person, yet she's recording albums, filming music videos, collaborating with legends, plotting lipstick lines, rescuing shelter dogs, spreading the word about equality and, of course, touring the world --hence the reason she's dubbed herself the "hardest working 23-year-old." But along with that crazy work ethic, Grande has a huge crew supporting her all the way, and there's no better example of their team work than the Dangerous Woman Tour, which touched down for the first night of a two-date run at New York City's Madison Square Garden on Thursday night (Feb. 23).
Each night, there are dozens of crew members working the show, baloons, costume changes, dancers and more. Check out our breakdown of The Dangerous Woman Tour’s New York stop with these mind boggling stats:
