Ariana Grande‘s passion for live performances is no secret. She has often spoken about her unique connection with her fans during concerts.In an exclusive interview with radio host Zach Sang, Ariana candidly shared her thoughts on touring.
“I would love to do shows,” she confessed. “I love being on stage. I miss my fans so much. That’s the honest-to-god truth.” However, she also acknowledged the emotional toll touring took her during her last run in 2019. “I had a tough time emotionally,” she admitted. “But I think that’s because of where I was at.”
While no “Eternal Sunshine” tour is confirmed, Grande hasn’t completely ruled out the possibility of a smaller tour in the future. This could be a compromise that allows her to connect with fans in a live setting without the extensive travel and emotional strain of a full-scale tour.
The singer’s schedule for 2024 is jam-packed. Not only is she promoting her album, but she’s also diving headfirst into the world of “Wicked.” The film adaptation, set to hit cinemas worldwide in November, promises to be a visual spectacle. Grande’s portrayal of the iconic Glinda is highly anticipated, and she’s fully committed to bringing the character to life.Grande has long dreamed of playing this character, and now that dream is becoming a reality.
The film, directed by Jon M. Chu, will be released in two parts, with the first premiering in November 2024. Grande has already finished shooting for the film as of January 25, 2024.
2024 is shaping to be a significant year for Ariana Grande as she balances the release of “Eternal Sunshine” and her role in “Wicked.” While fans may be disappointed about the lack of a tour, they can look forward to seeing Grande in a new light as she takes on the role of Glinda.
Ariana remained coy when asked about the possibility of an “Eternal Sunshine” tour.
“I definitely do have the itch,” she teased. “But then again, I’m not ready to announce any sort of thing or get people too excited because I don’t want to disappoint.”
It’s clear that her heart lies both on the stage and in Oz, and finding the right balance is crucial.
Grande’s decisions are met with a mix of reactions from fans. Some express their disappointment about the potential tour cancellation, while others show understanding and support for her choices.
