艾丽亚娜·格兰德在芝加哥演唱会上公开宣布，她将在"Eternal Sunshine"巡演结束后暂时远离公众视线[1]。格兰德强调这项决定是"从深思熟虑和充权赋能的地方做出的"，而非仓促反应[1]。"Eternal Sunshine"巡演计划于9月1日在伦敦O2竞技场进行为期10晚的驻场演出后结束[1]。
与此同时，格兰德宣布退出伦敦版音乐剧《Sunday in the Park With George》的演出，该剧定于2027年在Barbican剧院首演[1]。她同时呼吁公众改变对他人身体的评论态度，曾在2023年表示："我认为无论如何，我们都应该更加温和，更少习惯性地对他人的身体进行评论。"[1]
Ariana Grande announced during a Chicago concert that she will withdraw from the public eye following the conclusion of her "Eternal Sunshine Tour," characterizing the decision as one made from a place of "deep thought and empowerment" rather than impulse [1]. She emphasized that this was not "a reactive or impulsive thing," suggesting she had deliberated on the move well in advance [1].
As part of this broader shift, Grande revealed she has exited her role in the London production of the musical "Sunday in the Park With George," which is scheduled to debut at the Barbican Theatre in 2027 [1]. The "Eternal Sunshine Tour" will conclude with a ten-night residency at London's O2 Arena beginning September 1 [1]. Grande also renewed her call for greater compassion regarding public commentary on people's bodies, reiterating a sentiment she expressed in a 2023 TikTok video: "I think we should be gentler and less comfortable commenting on people's bodies, no matter what."
