Ariana Grande's admission that she is not sure if she will continue her long and epic tours has made the global fan community both eagerly waiting for the new tour and regretful.

In the latest episode of the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, Ariana Grande surprised the public by saying outright that her upcoming Eternal Sunshine tour will likely be the last time she does a major tour in "a very long time."

"I think this probably won't happen again for a very, very, very long time," the singer shared, describing this tour as " one last big one, for now."

This means Ariana Grande is not announcing her retirement from the stage, but is actively stepping back from the busy touring schedule.

Ariana Grande says she's entering a new artistic phase where she listens to herself more instead of continuing the cycle of a pop star having to constantly release products and go on tour.

Part of the reason for this change comes from Ariana Grande's increasing time spent acting. After the success of Wicked , she confirmed that she is taking on more films like Focker In-Law and wants to explore more deeply into cinema and comedy.

“I'm trying to follow my truest impulses, do what feels right in the moment, even if it's different from what I've done before.”

Regarding the scale of the Eternal Sunshine Tour , Ariana Grande revealed that it will not be a huge global tour like before. Instead, she chose to do "a series of smaller shows", focusing on the experience and direct connection with the audience.

Despite her talk of wanting to take a break from major touring, Ariana Grande stressed that she doesn't want to make any absolute statements: "I don't want to say anything definitive." This suggests that the door is still open for another massive tour in the future, just not anytime soon.

Ariana Grande's statement immediately created a strong wave of feedback on social networks. Many fans regretted, but at the same time supported her choice to put her emotions and mental health first.
