  "summary": "Ariana Grande has addressed her upcoming break from the public eye, stating it was not a reactive or impulsive decision. She made the announcement during a performance at the United Center in Chicago on Monday night, after a representative revealed on Sunday that she would be taking a step back from visibility after completing her Eternal Sunshine Tour.\n\nGrande explained that she had decided to take a break a long time ago and that it was a thoughtful and empowered decision. She reassured her fans that the break was not due to negativity affecting her, but rather a need for boundaries and a chance to rest. She emphasized that multiple things can be true at the same time, and that her decision to take a break does not mean that her tour is not a positive experience.\n\nAccording to Variety, Grande's break will begin after her Eternal Sunshine Tour concludes in early September. Grande expressed that her tour is \"the greatest experience of my professional and creative life\" and that she wants to assure her fans that nothing will change despite the break.",
