Ariana Grande Discusses Her Decision to Take a Public Break

Ariana Grande addressed her fans during a concert on Monday night about her upcoming break from the public scene. The announcement followed reports of her decision to step back after completing her ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour.

While performing at Chicago’s United Center, Grande clarified that her choice to take a hiatus was considered and deliberate, rather than hasty or reactionary. Reading from her phone, she emphasized that this decision came from a place of reflection and empowerment.

Grande’s departure from the musical ‘Sunday in the Park With George,’ set to premiere in London in 2027, was announced by production officials. Her recent split from ‘Wicked’ co-star Ethan Slater, ongoing tour commitments, and the release of her album ‘Petal’ have fueled speculation regarding her personal health and public image.

In 2023, Grande expressed concern over public discussions about her weight. She advocated for more sensitivity regarding comments on physical appearances.

Ariana Grande’s representative informed People magazine that she plans to reduce her public visibility after the tour concludes. Grande aims to finish her tour healthily and happily, looking forward to some well-earned rest from public exposure and scrutiny. No further comments were provided by her representative to the Associated Press.

During her concert comments, Grande addressed fans’ worries about negativity affecting her. She reassured them by asserting that setting boundaries and taking breaks are vital, and her current experiences remain rewarding and creatively fulfilling.

The ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour will wrap up with a residency at London’s O2 Arena, set to end on Sept. 1.
