Ariana Grande is offering fans her clearest glimpse yet into what the next chapter of her career may look like. During a warm and candid appearance on Good Hang with Amy Poehler, the pop superstar reflected on the future of her live performances and revealed that her upcoming Eternal Sunshine Tour may serve as her “one last hurrah” for a long time. While she stopped short of making absolute declarations, Grande admitted she expects a significant pause after the run concludes. “I don’t want to say any definitive things,” she told Poehler. “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 time. So I’m going to give it my all, and it’s going to be beautiful and I’m so grateful.”

Her comments arrive as anticipation builds for her first world tour in seven years. Demand for the 2026 dates has surged worldwide. The singer has described the tour as a deeply emotional return, one shaped by gratitude, healing, and a renewed relationship with her fans. Grande’s interview also delivered a heartfelt moment as she spoke about one of her biggest inspirations, Mariah Carey. Praising Carey’s artistry and generosity, she reflected on the surreal experience of being embraced by an artist she once idolized from afar. “Every time I cross paths with her I have to pinch myself,” she said. “The best part is how kind she has been to me and how she’s embraced me. She’s a wonderful, kind person. I really love her… Yes, she’s the greatest vocalist, of course, but the other pieces are what make her her.”
The appearance follows her recent New York Times interview, where Grande directly addressed speculation about her future in music. Assuring fans that she is not stepping away, she emphasized that music remains a permanent part of her life, even as she navigates an evolving career that now includes major film roles and a flourishing beauty brand. The upcoming tour supports Eternal Sunshine, her acclaimed 2024 album that topped global charts and produced hits like “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).”
