K Bye for Now (SWT Live) (stylized in all lowercase) is the first live album by American singer Ariana Grande. The album features Grande's setlist from her Sweetener World Tour in 2019. The album was released on December 23, 2019 and features guest appearances from Big Sean, Childish Gambino, Nicki Minaj and Zedd. This release marks the first time Grande has produced her own work, as she has a producer credit on all of the album's tracks.

Background

Grande embarked on the Sweetener World Tour starting in March 2019 to support her albums Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019). On October 17, 2019, Grande tweeted a photo of her editing vocal files on her laptop and wrote "about to start coming thru and picking my favorite adlibs / performance moments on this flight ... just in case u want a live album one day". In November 2019, Grande continued to tease the album by sharing more photos onto Instagram of audio files named after different cities she performed in.[1] On December 1, 2019, Grande shared an update on the production of the album.[2]

On December 10, 2019, Grande responded affirmatively to a fan that asked if a live album would arrive before the year's end. On December 11, 2019, the album was put up for pre-saving on Spotify under the tentative[3] title SWT Live and Grande shared the track listing on her Instagram.[4][5] On December 22, 2019, Grande revealed on Twitter that the album would be titled K Bye for Now and would be released later that night following her final show of the Sweetener World Tour in Inglewood, California.[6]

Commercial performance

K Bye for Now (SWT Live) debuted at number 97 on the US Billboard 200 with an incomplete tracking week. As of June 2020, the live album has sold 4,000 copies in the country.[7] The album was only made available through digital download and streaming.
