Ariana Grande's grueling tour schedule finally got the best of her.

After more than two months on the road, the 25-year-old singer was forced to postpone two shows in Florida — her Tampa and Orlando tour dates — due to sickness. "i woke up incredibly sick today, ran to my doctor here and have been told to postpone these shows tonight and tomorrow," she wrote on her Instagram Story Tuesday (May 28). "i'm so beyond devastated."

"i will make this up to you, i promise. please forgive me," Ariana continued. "i love you and i will be back and better than ever as soon as possible. love you [...] will keep you posted as soon as possible on exact dates but we will be returning in November and you will be able to use the tickets you've already purchased."

And within one hour's time, the two new dates for the Tampa and Orlando shows were revealed as Live Nation tweeted, "The new show date will be 11/24 in Tampa & 11/25 in Orlando."

Ariana's tour will pick up again on Friday (May 31) in Miami.

As fans know, Ariana has a love/hate relationship with performing. Just last month the "7 Rings" singer opened up about the toll performing takes on her after a fan tweeted: "Music is your therapy and I love seeing it heal you."

"Making it is healing," Ariana replied in a since-deleted tweet. "Performing it is like reliving it all over again and it is hell." Following her surprising tweet, Ariana's fans were quick to shower with her love, and many tweeted that they "wouldn't be mad" if she canceled the rest of her tour. However, the "thank u, next" singer assured them that she wouldn't do that, and instead was looking forward to seeing them on the road.
