She’s back. Pop star Ariana Grande announced on Thursday that she is embarking on her first tour in six years. Grande, 32, will be hitting the road to perform songs off her 2024 album, Eternal Sunshine. The album, her seventh full-length release, received overwhelmingly positive reviews. Her tour will start in June 2026, beginning in Oakland, California, and will make stops in multiple major American cities, from Los Angeles to New York. Since Grande ended her international tour for her album Sweetener in 2019, she has turned her talents to Hollywood. Beginning in 2022, Grande starred in the two-part Jon Chu-directed blockbuster hit Wicked, playing Glinda alongside Broadway legend Cynthia Erivo, who played Elphaba. Grande was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role. Grande became mired in scandal after she started dating her married Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater, of The SpongeBob SquarePants Musical fame. Rumors circulated that Slater cheated on his previous spouse, Lilly Jay, amid their budding relationship. Grande has publicly denied the claims. “There couldn’t be a less accurate depiction of a human being than the one that the tabloids spread about him,” she told Vanity Fair.
