Though fans might’ve been excited to see Ariana Grande at 2019 Kids' Choice Awards, the Sweetener singer actually won’t be attending tonight.

Fortunately, her brother, Frankie Grande slayed the orange carpet in her place.

He told ET Online that he was representing at the KCAs for his family, as Ari was busy on tour. "I'm here to celebrate in person with everyone in the arena tonight," he said. "She's nominated for two awards, I really hope she wins both of them!"

"She's on tour, so I'll probably have to FaceTime her if she wins and tell her all about it," he continued.

The "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" singer is nominated for Favorite Song for "Thank U, Next" and Favorite Female Artist tonight. While Ari won't be able to accept any awards, Frankie will be there on her behalf. Here's to hoping we get a glimpse of an adorable FaceTime sesh between the siblings!

The Sweetener tour just kicked off earlier this week in Albany, New York, and the "7 rings" singer is set to perform next on Monday night in Washington, D.C.

This isn't the first awards show she's missed this year, as Ariana also missed the Grammys last month, when there was some ~controversy~ regarding her performance. But if you're curious to see what Ari's up to, it looks like the singer is sharing amazing pics from her tour so far.
