\nAriana Grande is stepping out of the spotlight for an extended break after she wraps her Eternal Sunshine Tour, a rep for the actress and pop star told People. The rep\u2019s statement cited \u201congoing public scrutiny\u201d as one of the reasons for the pause. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAriana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour,\u201d Grande\u2019s rep said. \u201cShe looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny. This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPeople also reported that Grande has dropped out of Stephen Sondheim\u2019s West End revival of \u201cSunday in the Park With George.\u201d Grande was set to star alongside Jonathan Bailey in the production.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Eternal Sunshine Tour wraps on Sept. 1, meaning Grande is gunning for a break starting in the early fall. However, Grande is soon starring in \u201cFocker-in-Law\u201d alongside Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller. That film is positioned to be a holiday hit for Universal and arrives in theaters the day before Thanksgiving. It will most likely require a splashy promotional tour and many public appearances from Grande and her co-stars.<\/p>\n

\n\tGrande, a three-time Grammy winner and former child star of Nickelodeon favorites like \u201cVictorious\u201d and \u201cSam & Cat,\u201d reached Hollywood A-list status with the 2024 release of the \u201cWicked\u201d movie. Grande played Glinda, the good, opposite Cynthia Erivo\u2019s Elphaba. The film was a cultural phenomenon, earning Academy Award nominations for best picture and best supporting actress for Grande. It also won two Oscars for best costume design and best production design. Grande and Erivo went on a globe-trotting press tour for the ages to promote the movie musical. The sequel \u201cWicked: For Good\u201d was likewise a hit, but didn\u2019t require as much promotional legwork from its stars.<\/p>\n
