\n\tAfter Ariana Grande<\/a>\u2018s upcoming run of shows comes to a close next year, the sun might set on her life as a touring artist.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile guesting on an episode of Amy Poehler\u2019s Good Hang podcast posted Tuesday (Nov. 18), the pop superstar explained that while she\u2019s feeling really excited to perform for her fans in 2026, she doesn\u2019t think she\u2019ll do it again any time soon after the trek supporting 2024 album Eternal Sunshine ends. \u201cI\u2019m going to do a small stint of shows next year, because that is something that sounded authentically good to me,\u201d she began. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFollowing those authentic impulses, it feels like a really good idea,\u201d Grande continued before reflecting on how she\u2019s been shifting focus in her career to include more acting projects. \u201cMy pop career sort of took over my life in a way. I feel very privileged and grateful to learn that there can be room for different creative endeavors \u2026 The last 10 or 15 years will look very different to the ones that are coming up.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t want to say any definitive things,\u201d she added. \u201cI do know that I\u2019m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time. So I\u2019m going to give it my all. I think that\u2019s why I\u2019m doing it, because I\u2019m like, \u2018One last hurrah. For now.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s not the first time the Grammy winner has hinted that she\u2019d be focusing less on pop music going forward. In October, she revealed that she once thought <\/a>she would \u201cnever\u201d make an album again after her 2020 Positions LP, but that playing Glinda in the Wicked films \u2014 the second of which premieres Nov. 21 \u2014 inspired her to keep creating music, leading to Eternal Sunshine.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat said, Grande has been even less keen on touring over the years. She hasn\u2019t hit the road since her Sweetener World Tour wrapped in 2019, and when she was asked in 2024 by Variety whether she was planning shows for her Eternal Sunshine era, she replied, \u201cI think the next few years, hopefully we\u2019ll be exploring different forms of art, and I think acting is feeling like home right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThis past August, however, Grande announced that she\u2019d be touring after all, with her Eternal Sunshine trek <\/a>kicking off in June next year and running through August. Her shows are planned for L.A., Atlanta, Chicago, Montreal, London and a few more cities. <\/p>\n
