As fans of Ariana<\/a>, 32, know, she has been primarily focused on her acting career in the past few years as music has taken a backseat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite committing to her roles as Glinda and also in an upcoming Meet the Fockers sequel, she wanted to give her fans a treat by going on a mini tour next summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the Florida<\/a> native has now made it clear that if fans want to see her perform live in the near future, this tour will be their last chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last 10 or 15 years were very different than the ones that are coming up. And I don\u2019t want to say definitively\u2026 I do know I\u2019m very excited for this small tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

HOLY SHIZ!<\/p>\n

Ariana Grande’s boyfriend Ethan Slater ‘responds’ to breakup rumour in rare post<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long time. I\u2019m going to give it my all. And it\u2019s going to be beautiful and I\u2019m so grateful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s why I\u2019m doing it. I\u2019m like, one last hurrah. For now,\u201d Ariana told Amy on the podcast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNever say never,\u201d Amy added, to which Ariana agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The SNL<\/a> alum then explained: \u201cWhen you\u2019re able to step away from acting or music or writing, you really appreciate it when you get to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo much more,\u201d Ariana interrupted before explaining, \u201cYou do better by that art form because you\u2019re appreciative and able to fill present in it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In response to Ariana\u2019s comments, many said that they took it as an unofficial \u201cretirement announcement.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cCatch her now or cry forever, basically,\u201d an X user wrote wile another added, \u201coh she\u2019s done with the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo basically\u2026 this is the \u2018don\u2019t ask me for another tour\u2019 warning,\u201d another quipped. <\/p>\n

\u201cOh yeah she\u2019s definitely finna pull a Rihanna! Happy for her tbh, she probably tired of doing the same s**t,\u201d a fan said, noting how Rihanna<\/a> has taken a years-long break from the music industry. <\/p>\n

While one more reflected: \u201cThis feels like a tender reminder to cherish rare moments, because when someone says it may not happen again for a long time, it shows how precious the season is and how much heart is poured into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, other fans snapped back that if Ariana knew this was going to be her final tour for a long time, she should have \u201cmade more of an effort\u201d to making it bigger and in more parts of the world. <\/p>\n

THANK U, NEXT<\/p>\n

\u201cGirl i love you but why not do a proper tour that all of the fans can attend and not only the ones from uk & us,\u201d one person asked. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is such a slap in the face to her fans from all over the world that aren\u2019t in the US,\u201d on more furiously insisted. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d rather wait 5 more years for a PROPER tour than this. and idc if i get hate for this i\u2019ve been a fan for 10 years and she pays international fans nothing but dust,\u201d another fired off.<\/p>\n
