Ariana Grande Explains Why She Scrapped Her Eternal Sunshine Mini-Tour to Focus on Acting

Ariana Grande has decided to put her live performances on hold as she focuses on her acting career, officially scrapping her plans for a mini-tour in support of her Eternal Sunshine album. Fans had been eagerly anticipating the tour after Grande teased it in July 2024, but as promotional commitments for her role in Wicked intensified, she ultimately chose to prioritize her film career.

In a recent interview with Variety, Grande explained her decision, noting, “Performing will always be a part of my life, but I want to focus on this chapter of storytelling through film.” While her fans were understandably excited for the mini-tour, it’s clear that Grande is in a new creative phase, one that leans heavily into acting. This shift in focus is in line with her rising profile in Hollywood, particularly with her high-profile role in the Wicked films, which has taken center stage over the past year.

Adding to the confusion surrounding the tour, a technical glitch on Ticketmaster led fans to believe the mini-tour was back on, as new dates briefly appeared on the site. However, this was quickly corrected by her label, Republic Records, which issued a formal statement confirming that there were no plans for a tour next year.

While Eternal Sunshine remains a key part of Grande’s music journey, it’s clear that her current creative focus is firmly rooted in film. Despite shelving her mini-tour, she expressed her deep appreciation for her fans and their continued support, leaving the door open for future musical endeavors when the time feels right. For now, her priority is telling stories on the big screen, with fans eagerly awaiting her performance in Wicked and the next phase of her cinematic career.
