Ariana Grande concludes Eternal Sunshine Tour in London amid health scrutiny

Pop star Ariana Grande is currently performing a 10-night residency at London’s O2 Arena as part of her Eternal Sunshine Tour. The residency, which concludes on September 1, serves as the European finale for the tour. Ahead of the shows, reports indicated Grande took a brief retreat at the Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire to unwind.

Amid the tour, Grande has faced intense public scrutiny regarding her physical appearance, particularly following the release of her music video for ‘Petal’. Commentators, including Megyn Kelly, have expressed concern over her weight, with Kelly questioning the role of Grande’s family and management in prioritizing professional profit over the singer’s wellbeing.

In response to the ongoing scrutiny, a representative for Grande confirmed the singer will take a “much-deserved break” from the spotlight once the tour concludes. This decision follows a broader cultural debate regarding the ethics of public body-dissection and the pressures placed on women in Hollywood, a conversation also recently involving actress Jenna Ortega.
