Ariana Grande has said her Eternal Sunshine Tour is \u201cin a good place\u201d.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old singer is due to embark on her first tour in seven years in June 2026, and Grande has now teased she has been working on the set list for \u201cmonths\u201d and rehearsals for the shows are \u201cstarting very soon\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking with E! News at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday (04.01.26), the Wicked: For Good actress said: \u201cI\u2019ve been working on the set list for months now.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s in a good place, but we\u2019ll never know until we get into the rehearsals – which are starting very soon – and we put things on their feet if it\u2019ll make sense or not.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Eternal Sunshine Tour will be the Side To Side hitmaker\u2019s first concert trek since 2019\u2019s Sweetener World Tour, and Grande is not giving anything away.<\/p>\n
When asked what fans can expect from the upcoming tour, she said: \u201cI want to let it be a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cI am grateful to work, and I\u2019m excited for the tour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grande had been nominated for the Best Supporting Actress honour for her performance as Glinda in Wicked: For Good at the Critics Choice Awards, but lost out on the accolade to Weapons\u2019 Amy Madigan.<\/p>\n
The 2025 Universal blockbuster had also been put forward for six other awards, including Best Picture and Best Costume Design.<\/p>\n
Grande previously said her Eternal Sunshine Tour would be her \u201clast hurrah\u201d because she may not hit the road again for a \u201clong, long time\u201d.<\/p>\n
During an appearance on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, the yes, and? singer explained: \u201cI think the last 10 to 15 years will look very different to the ones that are coming up …<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t want to say any definitive things. I do know that I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time …<\/p>\n
\u201c[The tour is] going to be beautiful and I’m so grateful that – I think that’s why I’m doing it because I’m like, \u2018One last hurrah.\u2019 For now.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked about her future career plans, Grande said: \u201cI spent so much time only doing pop music – but I grew up as a girl who loved musical theatre and comedy.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I think the thing that will be best for my soul and also my art and for what I’m giving to myself to, is if I’m chasing things that feel very right in the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if it’s mundane it needs to be something different. I am doing a movie right now because it’s a role that I read the script and I love it and it’s funny and I love the cast and I’m so excited.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I’m doing a small stint of shows next year because that is something that authentically sounded good to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think following those authentic impulses feels like a really good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariana Grande has said her Eternal Sunshine Tour is \u201cin a good place\u201d.
