Ariana Grande marked the conclusion of her North American "Eternal Sunshine" tour leg on Thursday night, sharing an emotional message with fans on Instagram.
Grande, 33, posted a collection of photos and videos from the tour, which wrapped its North American dates on August 6 in Chicago. Her message conveyed a sense of being "overwhelmed with love and the deepest gratitude." She thanked her audience for "the most special, beautiful, joyful and deeply fulfilling few months," adding, "I will cherish every moment of this time with you all & these memories forever."
The singer's post follows her recent on-stage comments about taking a "break" after the tour concludes, citing "ongoing scrutiny." This comes amid heightened public discussion and speculation about her health and weight. A family source reportedly urged Grande to take a significant break from performing due to these concerns.
Grande is scheduled to perform 10 shows at London's O2 Arena, starting August 15 and concluding September 1, which will serve as the final dates of the "Eternal Sunshine" tour. Following these dates, she plans to take a hiatus.
Earlier this week, Grande appeared to signal a focus on wellness by liking an Instagram post from psychotherapist Terri Cole. The post discussed embracing a "healthier version" of oneself and prioritizing personal growth, even if it leads to changes in relationships. Cole's message emphasized that true connections will support and appreciate one's evolution.
Representatives for Grande have not yet commented on the matter. Insiders have told media outlets that Grande has been feeling "overworked" and that the constant public commentary on her weight is detrimental.
"She is not well. She is anxious and unhappy. She doesn't sleep enough, doesn't eat enough," a family insider told the Daily Mail, adding that loved ones have "begged" her to take an extended break.
Grande's upcoming film, "Focker-In-Law," is slated for release in November, though it remains unclear if she will participate in promotional activities.
