Ariana Grande kicked off her The Eternal Sunshine Tour earlier this month, and last night’s show brought out a lot of celebs!
If you don’t know, The Eternal Sunshine Tour will continue through September, where she’ll visit 41 cities over the course of the summer.
On Wednesday (June 17), Ariana performed her tour live from the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. We noted several big names in attendance, and have some photos to share!
Some stars who hit up the show include former co-stars, music stars, and more.
Keep reading to see which celebrities were in attendance for Ariana Grande’s tour performance last night…
Following a delay on tickets going on sale, rumors started swirling that Ariana was leaving the production, but the musical’s social media accounts have seemingly shut them down.
The show posted a photo of Ariana on stage during a stop of her Eternal Sunshine Tour, sharing a quote from composer Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the music and lyrics for the musical.
“‘Only way to make a work of art.'” they wrote in the caption on Wednesday (June 17), adding, “Our Dot is putting it together on The Eternal Sunshine Tour. That’s what counts.”
The London production of Sunday in the Park with George, starring Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey, is set to launch in 2027 at the Barbican Centre. Tickets are slated to go on sale this fall.
If you don’t know, the musical follows painter Georges Seurat as he meticulously works on his masterpiece, “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” while navigating his complicated relationship with his lover Dot. The second act of the musical later shifts to his great-grandson, George, exploring how art, love, and creative legacy echo across generations, with Dot now aged to be elderly.
Coming up later this year, Ariana is also set to release her new album petal, and she’s starring in the new movie Focker-In-Law!
The 32-year-old “hate that i made you love me” superstar fought back tears while onstage during her eternal sunshine stop at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night (June 14) in Los Angeles.
Ariana was preparing to sing her track “Hampstead” when she suddenly got teary and cried, explaining that she felt overwhelmed “in the most beautiful way ever.”
“You can’t do this to me, you know what I mean, because you know what’s going to happen. You know I’m a cancer. This is going to happen,” Ariana amusingly went on to say, shouting out her fans for being a “loving, safe presence” for her.
“Holy s–t, holy f–k. Thank you,” she added.
Ari is also launching a new philanthropic endeavor: the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation, focusing on protecting trans and LGBTQ+ rights, expanding access to mental healthcare, community support, arts education and more.
According to the post that she shared on her Instagram, the foundation will be launched with four different funds partnering with organizations like the Humanity Crew and Trans Lifeline. Find out how she’ll be helping.
Ariana Grande is launching a new philanthropic endeavor.
The 32-year-old pop star launched the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation focusing on protecting trans and LGBTQ+ rights, expanding access to mental healthcare, community support, arts education, and more.
According to the post Ariana shared on her Instagram, the foundation will be launched with four different funds partnering with organizations like the Humanity Crew and Trans Lifeline.
Here’s the statement she shared.
I am beyond excited to finally announce the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation. Our mission is to support, protect, and provide resources for our vulnerable friends in need. Through four different funds, we will be supporting handfuls of incredible organizations that provide the safe space and care that is desperately needed by so many right now.
It has been my privilege to be able to support these causes on my own over the years, and I’m grateful to now be able to expand that reach and amplify the life-saving work that these organizations do through the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation.
The Protect & Defend Fund is one of several funds that is part of the foundation, and they advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights, and reproductive justice; Heal & Dream Fund is to help expand access to mental health and community support; Seen & Celebrated Fund goes to combatting LGBTQ+ erasure and ensuring their voices are heard; and the Emergency Support Fund is a responsive fund to aid communities during times of collective need.
Ariana Grande is calling out the White House for using one of her songs in a video supporting ICE agents.
The multi-Grammy Award winning singer responded to a TikTok post shared by the White House earlier this week set to her song “Bye” that features ICE agents arresting and handcuffing people.
“Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense,” she wrote in response, per Reuters.
Variety confirms that the comment was made, though it is currently being hidden.
“For some reason it’s not publicly visible,” a rep told the outlet. Her team is looking into getting the song removed.
In a separate statement shared with Variety, the White House responded, “We’ll say this one last time: what’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens.”
A source is sharing how Ariana Grande is doing right now after splitting from her boyfriend Ethan Slater.
If you did not see the news, it was reported this week that the Wicked co-stars quietly split “several months” ago after nearly three years together.
A source is now speaking out about what Ariana Grande is focusing on right now
Right now, Ariana has been “incredibly focused on preparing for her tour.”
“She’s been wanting to give her fans an amazing show and has put so much work into the show. Kicking off her tour was very emotional for her,” the source told People.
The source also revealed how Ariana Grande is doing now
“She’s seemed very happy. It’s all been very positive vibes. Being able to reconnect with fans after so many years made her very excited,” the insider added. Ariana has not toured since 2019.
On Monday (June 8), a source told People that the Wicked co-stars quietly split “several months” ago after nearly three years of dating.
“It’s amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways,” the source shared. “They are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months.”
The insider went on to say that Ariana, 32, is “doing great” post-split and that she has been focused on her Eternal Sunshine Tour and the release of her upcoming album Petal, which drops on July 31.
If you didn’t know, Ariana and Ethan, 34, were first linked in July 2023 after meeting on set of Wicked in which she played Glinda and he played Boq. They went Instagram official in November 2024 and appeared together multiple times at promo events for Wicked and Wicked: For Good over the last year and a half.

The 42-year-old stylist, who has worked with everyone from Kim Kardashian to Ariana Grande, shared a selfie with the 44-year-old “…Baby One More Time” pop icon on Monday (June 1).
“As a kid growing up in England, Britney Spears was the soundtrack to so many moments. Never in a million years did I think I’d one day be standing behind the chair (or in this case her standing behind mine, lol) styling her hair,” he captioned their photo together.
“Some moments really do come full circle. She is not only an icon, but one of the most genuinely kind and gentle souls I’ve ever met,” he added.
Days ago, Britney opened up about doing arts and crafts, specifically making a stained glass piece. She shared her thoughts on the hobby, getting over emotional issues of being in her kitchen and what gave her the highest consciousness she’s ever felt in her life.
Ariana Grande is kicking off her Petal era with “hate that i made you love me,” and the fiery music video has just arrived on Monday (June 1).
The video was directed by Christian Breslauer, who also directed the Brighter Days Ahead short film, in which she put an end to her Eternal Sunshine era and transformed into an elderly woman with the help of makeup and special effects.
Jeepers Creepers star Justin Long co-stars, and is seen with the shovel in the opening scenes burying Ariana in an underground bunker surrounded by notebooks featuring her “insecurities.” She ends up haunting him, appearing as a vision in his car, and causing a wreck as he begins to slowly go insane.
At one point, in an attempt to burn their memories together, he accidentally sets himself on fire.
He then heads to a diner, only to be served by a waitress named Petal as the kitchen staff turns into Ariana. He freaks out as he realizes everyone in the diner is Ariana as well. Determined to undo it, he goes back and digs up Ariana and goes down in the bunker, only to realize Ariana is outside. The final scene is her burying him instead.
“Yeah, I, I, I hate that I made you love me / Sorry if I made me your type / Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me / ‘Cause I barely tried, yeah, I, I, I…”
Ariana raved about the song while announcing it to fans a few weeks ago. She said, “One of my favorite songs I’ll ever write produced by my favorite collaborators and dearest human beings in the world, the brilliant Ilya, the one and only Max Martin (and me). I simply cannot wait for it to be yours.”
Ariana Grande has officially released her new song “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” the first single off her upcoming eighth studio album, Petal.
The 32-year-old singer won’t be dropping the album until July 31, but she’s giving fans an early taste of her new music ahead of her Eternal Sunshine concert tour.
It’s unclear who the song is about, but Ariana could possibly be singing about her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez. Though, on songs on Eternal Sunshine, she sang about how hard she tried to make the relationship work and on this song, she’s doing the opposite, saying she “barely tried.”
Just know that I will find my way from you Like flowers from a tomb while you decide who you are And I can see right through, like shadows on the moon And it’s all bad news Yeah, I, I, I Hate that I made you love me Sorry if I made me your type Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me ‘Cause I barely tried
