A bittersweet day indeed for fans of Ariana Grande (affectionately called #Arianators), Tuesday (September 1) brought with it the conclusion of her critically acclaimed ‘Eternal Sunshine World Tour.’
Bidding supporters an emotional farewell, the global jaunt concluded with a 10-night stay in London after 41 shows across North America, the U.K., and Europe including stops in in major markets like Atlanta, Chicago, Montreal, New York City, and more.

Speaking to attendees of the tour’s final stop, Grande fought back tears as she addressed the experience.
“This has been one of the most beautiful, extraordinary experiences of my life and I just want to express my gratitude without sobbing completely,” the GRAMMY winner shared before saying, “But really, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s been so special, and I’ll cherish this experience always…I have the best fans in the entire world, and I always have. And I love your outfits, I love your faces, I love seeing you, I love connecting with you in this way. Thank you for all of your effort for making this so special. All your messages and your costumes and your wardrobe and makeup is just so beautiful.”
The emotional address comes just weeks after a rep for the singer-actress revealed she would “be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the ‘Eternal Sunshine Tour'” following the massive public scrutiny surrounding her health and physical appearance.
At writing, Grande – who alleges her break isn’t due to the criticism – has not confirmed the date she plans to re-emerge into public view from the self-imposed hiatus.
