So I just wanted to speak to my fans directly tonight because I love you so much. The announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing,\u201d she told the crowd. \u201cIt is something that I had decided to plan that I had quietly made a long time ago and it\u2019s a decision that was made from a thoughtful and empowered place. And I want you to know many things can be true at the same time. I want to share this because I heard that my fans were worried that negativity was ruining things for me, but I just have to say that could not be more the fuck opposite. Honestly, this is not what that is. And I just want to be very, very clear: Multiple things can be true at the same time. Yes, boundaries, they need to be set. Human beings can need a break sometimes. And also, this can be and will continue to be the greatest experience of my professional and creative life.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cNo matter what noises exist out there, nothing will ever be able to distort my reality or be more real to me or elaborate to me than this love that we share,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe rest of that shit is not mine to carry, so I don\u2019t carry it. I need to get out here and differentiate that from my truth for you all because I love you and this tour has been the most healing, beautiful, corrective, magnificent, special experience of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=5448\">Geno Segers Apologizes For Transgender Comments After \u2018Hadestown\u2019 Exit: \u2018I Recognize the Impact of My Statements\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tOn Sunday, a rep said that Grande will be \u201ctaking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine tour. She 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 had led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tGrande had just released her new album \u201cPetal\u201d two days prior, along with a music video for the title track that drew scrutiny for her appearance.
