It's one of the biggest and most catchy songs of 2019, but despite the success of Ariana Grande's hit track '7 Rings', the singer isn't actually going to make that much money from it.

The single, which was released in January 2019, features a sample of 'My Favourite Things', a song which was written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for The Sound Of Music movie in 1959.

Now, according to new reports, Ariana Grande's record label apparently signed a deal with Concord, the company which owns Rodgers and Hammerstein's music, despite the songwriters passing away in 1959 and 1970.

The New York Times are reporting that the two companies agreed on a 90% royalties fee, therefore Ariana isn't really going to make any money from the hit single!

Meanwhile, Ariana kicked off her 'Sweetener World Tour' in America earlier this week, where she paid a touching tribute to her late ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller.

Before taking to the stage to perform some of her biggest tracks, the singer had Mac's music playing in the arena as her fans took their seats.

One fan wrote, 'Ariana Grande is playing Mac Miller right before her opening song for Sweetener tour rn and my heart can’t handle it SO MANY TEARS'. [sic} Another then added, 'Aaaaand they’re playing Mac Miller at the Ariana Grande concert. Not emotional no no no not at all.' sic

A third fan then tweeted, 'Ariana grande had Mac Miller’s music playing while people got into their seats for her concert 😭😭😭😭.' sic
