Ariana Grande Holds Back Tears During Final ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Show: ‘An Extraordinary Experience’
Following the conclusion of the tour, Grande plans “step back” from public life
Ariana Grande displayed a tender side during her Eternal Sunshine Tour finale in London, adjusting a lyric in her hit song "Thank U, Next" to reference her renewed romance with ex Ricky Alvarez. The modification, "Wrote some songs about Ricky/ I'm tryna make him my last," was performed Tuesday (Sept. 1) and ignited speculation about the couple's relationship status.
Ariana's love for Ricky is nothing new; she has previously altered lyrics to reflect their connection while on tour. In July, she altered "Wrote some songs about Ricky/ Now I listen and laugh" to the aforementioned line, signaling her rekindled feelings for Alvarez. The pair's romance reignited after their brief 2015-2016 relationship, which lasted about a year.
"Thank U, Next," the lead single from Ariana's album of the same name, topped the Billboard Hot 100 in November 2018. The 33-year-old singer concluded her London tour with a heartfelt performance, declaring it "one of the most extraordinary and beautiful experiences" of her life. Ariana recently released her eighth studio album, 'petal,' in July, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 295,000 total album-equivalent units.
