    Ariana Grande said Thursday she was forced to postpone a pair of Florida concerts this week because she’s developed an allergy to tomatoes.

    “i had an unfortunate allergic reaction to tomatoes and my throat pretty much closed,” she explained in an Instagram post. “still feels like i’m swallowing a cactus but slowly making progress!”

    Grande pointed out that there is “nothing more unfair than an Italian woman developing an allergy to tomatoes” in her mid-20s.

    The juicy fruit forced Sweetener World Tour shows in Tampa and Orlando to be bumped to November.

    At the time, Grande shared: “I woke up incredibly sick today, ran to my doctor here and have been told to postpone these shows. I’m so beyond devastated.”

    Grande is expected to resume the tour with concerts tonight and Saturday in Miami. She makes a return visit to Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on June 26.
