Ariana Grande's Touring Future Hangs in the Balance

Current Touring Status

Ariana Grande isn't bidding farewell to touring permanently; rather, it's a temporary pause. As she shared with Variety, she feels grateful for her acting endeavors and believes that music and being on stage will always hold a special place in her life. However, for the immediate future, she doesn't foresee any touring plans.

At 31 years old, Grande is currently focused on other forms of art. She mentioned that acting feels like home right now, especially with the upcoming release of "Wicked 2: For Good" in 2025. This shift in focus allows her to explore different creative avenues and grow as an artist.

Fan Appreciation and Understanding

Grande expressed her deep appreciation for her fans' understanding. Over the years, they have grown together through her various projects, and she is grateful for their continued love, support, and excitement. She assured them that music will always be a part of her life, even if touring takes a backseat for the time being.

Her record label, Republic Records, also chimed in, stating that there are no plans for a tour next year. However, they emphasized Grande's deep gratitude for her fans and their unwavering support.

Previous Touring Memories

It has been five years since Grande last went on tour. In 2019, she embarked on her "Sweetener" world tour to promote her 2018 album and "thank u, next." Those tours were a huge success, captivating audiences around the world with her powerful performances and infectious music.

Despite the current hiatus, Grande has hinted at the possibility of trickling in some shows between the two "Wicked" films. She believes that there is a version of touring that can work within her current schedule and creative vision.
