Ariana Grande on decision to withdraw from the public eye: 'Not a reactive or impulsive thing'
- Ariana Grande announced she will take a break from the public eye after her 'Eternal Sunshine' tour.
- During a concert in Chicago, she emphasized that her decision was made thoughtfully and was not impulsive.
- Grande has withdrawn from her role in the London production of 'Sunday in the Park With George' set for 2027.
- She expressed that multiple truths can coexist, including the need for boundaries and the enjoyment of her tour experience.
Ariana Grande chose to 'clear the air about a few things' during her concert Monday night, following the news that she will be taking a break from being in the public eye after the conclusion of her 'Eternal Sunshine' tour. While on stage at Chicago’s United Center, Grande told her fans that 'things can get a little blown out of proportion,' and that her decision to take a break from public life was one she had 'quietly made a long time ago,' rather than a 'reactive or impulsive thing.'
Reading from her phone, she continued: 'It was a decision that was made from a thoughtful and empowered place. And I want you to know that many things can be true at the same time.' On Sunday, producers for a London production of Stephen Sondheim’s 'Sunday in the Park With George' announced that Grande had withdrawn from her role in the musical, set to debut at the Barbican theater in 2027.
Grande’s recent breakup from 'Wicked' co-star Ethan Slater, the ongoing tour and last week’s release of the album 'Petal' has fueled rampant speculation online about her health and appearance. A representative for Grande told People magazine that the 33-year-old singer 'will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour.'
