Ariana Grande‘s March-released album, ‘Eternal Sunshine,’ may already be glowing as one of the year’s top-selling female efforts, but its GRAMMY-winning creator is looking to take its attached sales figures to even higher heights by confirming a long-rumored deluxe edition.
Grande has already treated her dedicated fans (affectionately called #Arianators) to a ‘slightly deluxe‘ version of the chart-topping project, but during her interview with the ‘Shut Up Evan‘ podcast on Tuesday (July 9) she confirmed the official ‘Sunshine’ repackage is on the way.
“I have specific ideas, and I’m going to take my time to make them beautiful and perfect and then we’ll see,” she added. “I’ll let it be a surprise!”
And while the re-release isn’t coming “super soon,” Ariana assured her supporters she’s putting the final touches on the effort – a status she reaffirmed by sharing a recap of the message to her 378 million followers on Instagram (as seen above).
As if that news wasn’t enough to send music lovers into a frenzy, the 31-year-old Pop diva also teased plans for a “mini tour” in support of ‘Sunshine.’
“I think it would be a really lovely idea to be able to trickle in some shows in between the two Wicked films. I think there’s a version of that that exists,” she said while emphasizing the “sampling of shows” would not follow her traditional touring pattern.
Granted, there are no details set in stone yet, but just the thought was enough to excite her dedicated followers.
If the tour does come to fruition it would land between ‘Wicked: Part 1‘ (to be released November 22, 2024) and ‘Wicked: Part 2’ (set for November 26, 2025).

I usually like her albums but this one is blah for me. I haven’t cared about it since it dropped.
Eternal Sunshine is a great album. Way better than the last one.
There is no need for an re-released… release supernatural as the next single during holiday season and release bye as the final single
