Overview
- Grande paused midset during the second of four Crypto.com Arena shows and became visibly tearful as she thanked the crowd for their longtime support on Sunday, June 14.
- Onstage she called fans a “loving, safe presence,” wiped away tears and joked about being a Cancer and touring for the first time while wearing contact lenses.
- Reporters noted the moment came after media accounts this month that Grande and actor Ethan Slater quietly split months earlier, though she did not address the breakup during the performance.
- The set included recent hits such as her current No. 1 single “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” which was reported as her 10th Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, and the tour supports her Eternal Sunshine era ahead of Petal’s July 31 release.
- The Eternal Sunshine Tour is Grande’s first major arena run since 2019 and the Los Angeles reaction has been framed across outlets as an emotional reconnection between the artist and her audience.
