"Makes sense!": Perez Hilton backs Ariana Grande’s choice to make the ‘Eternal Sunshine Tour’ her “last hurrah” in music for a “long, long time”

Ariana Grande has announced that she will be taking a big break from music after her Eternal Sunshine Tour next year. She labeled it her "last hurrah" in music, as she continues to work on her numerous acting projects.

Ariana Grande is currently preparing for the release of Wicked: For Good, the second installment of Wicked. The film, which also stars Cynthia Erivo, will be released on November 21. During the press tour, the singer appeared on an episode of the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, released on November 18.

Grande announced that she will be taking a break from music after her Eternal Sunshine Tour in 2026, saying:

“The last 10 or 15 years will look very different to the ones that are coming up. I don’t want to say anything definitive. I do know that I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long, long time. I’m going to give it my all and it’s going to be beautiful. I think that’s why I’m doing it because I’m like, ‘One last hurrah!'”

Blogger Perez Hilton has reacted to this big news by Grande, writing on his website:

"Get a good look at Ariana Grande while she’s still a pop star… because she’s hanging up the microphone after next year — at least for now!"

After sharing the singer's comments, Hilton remarked:

"Totally makes sense! But it’s also kinda sad!"

Grande had also spoken about taking a break from music in an interview with The New York Times, published on November 5, 2025. She said that “music will be in her life forever” before adding:

“I have to say that for my fans who are reading this who are going to have a heart attack.”

Grande's Eternal Sunshine Tour will be in support of her 2024 album, Eternal Sunshine. It will commence in Oakland on June 6, 2026, and end in London on September 1, 2026.

Following the completion of her Eternal Sunshine Tour, Ariana Grande will prepare for the release of Focker In-Law, the fourth installment of Meet the Parents. She reportedly plays the role of the future daughter-in-law of the characters played by Ben Stiller and Teri Polo.

Sharing some details about her role in her interview with Amy Poehler, Grande said:

“I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this. But my character is a triathlete. I spent yesterday doing burpees and high knees with Robert De Niro. I’m like, ‘What is this movie? What are we doing?’ But I’m having a blast. It’s really special.”

Heaping praise on her castmates, especially Beanie Feldstein, the Bang Bang singer added:
