  "account": "Ariana Grande concluded her Eternal Sunshine tour with an emotional exit on Tuesday night, preparing to step away from public life. The singer, occasionally close to tears during the performance, particularly during One Last Time, an anthem for terror attack survivors. She expressed gratitude to her fans, saying the experience was one of the most beautiful and extraordinary of her life. The tour marked Grande's return to the stage after a seven-year hiatus and was seen by thousands of fans worldwide, including from China, Australia, and various European cities. Despite a foot injury, she performed flawlessly, compensating for lost height with knee-high platform boots. Her voice faltered during Nowhere, Nobody, but she regained composure and finished the show with a huge smile. Grande's decision to step back from public appearances comes after months of speculation about her health and appearance, and follows a music video for her latest single that raised concerns about her weight. She had previously announced a break from public visibility due to \"endless, ongoing public scrutiny\".",
