Los Angeles – As Glinda, she now returns to captivate “Wicked” fans in the second installment of the magical musical film adaptation. But in real life, pop star Ariana Grande worried her fans with this news: She no longer wants to tour.
The American actress and singer surprisingly announced in an interview with Amy Poehler (54) for the podcast “Good Hang” that her planned tour in 2026 will be her last for an indefinite period! The concert was meant to be a “last hurrah,” Ariana said. And further: “I don’t think something like this will happen again for a very long time.”
Musicians’ styles also changed. In the past (in 2019), besides her voice, she was known for her high heels, short clothes, and sleek ponytail. These days, Grande focuses on subtle and elegant style
Her upcoming (and initially final) “Eternal Sunshine” tour, which kicks off June 6, 2026 and includes 41 shows, marks her return to the concert stage after six years since her “Sweetener” world tour in 2019. Coming to Germany Ariana Grande unfortunately not. Anyone who wants to see her again as a pop icon will have to make the trip to London.
Ariana Grande wants to change herself
The reason? Personal development. The musician wants to have more freedom for other creative projects in the future. Ariana Grande is known as a child star on the Nickelodeon channel, and her pop career later catapulted her to the Olympus of world stars. Now it looks like the 32-year-old is starting to enter a new chapter in his life and career: “I think the last 10 to 15 years will look very different compared to the next years,” he said on the podcast.

Ariana, who is reportedly dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, 33, also said: “I spend so much time just making pop music – but I grew up as a girl who loved musicals and comedy. So I think this is what’s best for my soul and also for my art and for what I give myself to pursue things that feel right at the time.”
And it seems like it’s not music, but a lot more Acting become. Ariana Grande also revealed that she has made two more films beyond “Wicked“-world – and starred in the 13th season of “American Horror Story”.
