On September 1st, Ariana Grande completed the final night of her "Eternal Sunshine Tour" in London (UK), marking the final stage of her nearly three-month tour. The tour started in Oakland, California (USA) on June 6th and passed through the US, Montreal (Canada) before ending with 10 nights in London.
In the final exchange part of the program, Ariana Grande emotionally thanked fans. The female singer said that this is one of the most special experiences in her life and affirmed that she will always cherish the time standing on stage with the audience.
I loved every moment being with you and want to say how grateful I am to you," she shared.
Ariana Grande also thanked fans for preparing costumes, makeup, sending messages and creating a unique atmosphere for each performance night. In front of thousands of spectators, she concluded her speech with loving words for fans.
The last performance took place not long after Ariana Grande confirmed her plan to reduce public appearances. The female singer's representative said she wanted to take time off after completing the tour, and at the same time withdraw from regular activities that made her face prolonged attention and scrutiny.
This decision was made in the context that Ariana Grande has continuously received attention about her appearance and health recently. After the MV "Petal" was released at the end of July, discussions about the female singer's appearance continued to increase.
Ariana Grande then affirmed that the temporary withdrawal was not an impulsive decision. She said she had been secretly planning this break for a long time.
Before ending the tour, the female singer once assessed "Eternal Sunshine Tour" as a positive experience for herself. In an interview in August, she said that she can now enjoy and be present on stage more fully than during the previous tour.
In parallel with music, Ariana Grande also adjusted her performance schedule. She will not participate in the new version of the musical "Sunday in the Park with George" in the West End, scheduled to premiere next summer.
Audiences can still see Ariana Grande on screen in the near future. The female singer participates in "Focker-in-Law", a new film of the "Meet the Parents" franchise, starring Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 25.
After 41 nights of performances, "Eternal Sunshine Tour" closed with the moment Ariana Grande burst into tears on stage. This is also a milestone marking the beginning of a period when the female singer actively reduced her activity and spent more time for herself.
