Ariana Grande Says 'Eternal Sunshine' Tour Is 'TBD' But She Has 'The Itch'

Ariana Grande will be touring in support of her fast-approaching new album Eternal sunshine? She doesn't know for sure either.

When asked during an episode of his Monday The Zach Sang Show whether she plans to hit the road in support of her record on March 8, the 30-year-old pop star said her decision was “TBD.” “I would love to do shows, I miss being on stage,” he continued. “I miss my fans so much, that's the honest truth.”

Grande has not released an LP since 2020 Seatsand her latest trip was even earlier: In 2019, she embarked on the Sweetener World tour, which she supported in 2018 Sweetener and of 2019 Thanks, Next album. The four-month international tour was captured in the singer's film POV on Netflix You forgive me, I love you.

This time, Grande said her schedule is tied to press engagements for the Bad live-action films, starring as Glinda alongside Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba. The pair of films directed by Jon M. Chu wrapped filming earlier this year, and the first installment will hit theaters this Thanksgiving.

“I had a really hard time emotionally on my last tour, but I think that's because of where I was,” Grande told Sang. “I'm excited to redefine my relationship with shows when I'm ready. I have a very busy year with this and that Bad.

“[The tour] obviously it would be shorter,” he added. “If anything, it would be something smaller. But I'm definitely itching. I'm not ready to announce anything or get people too excited because I don't want to disappoint.”

The Victorious The alum covered a lot of ground during her 40-minute interview with Sang, which will soon be followed by a part 2. Not only did Grande call out the “thieves” who leaked her unreleased music on TikTok last year — “I'll see you in jail , literally,” she said at one point – but the singer also touched on her “frustration” with last year's persistent tabloid rumors about her relationship with Bad co-starring Ethan Slater.

“We selectively remember that's what tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether we like the person,” she said. “We don't need to go into specifics, but of course there's an insatiable frustration, an inexplicable hellish feeling about seeing people misunderstand the people you love.”
