Ariana Grande fans, grab your tissues and thank u, next your hopes, because those whispers about a 2025 tour? Yeah, they’ve been shut down faster than I get ghosted on Tinder. It’s been five whole years since Ariana wrapped up her Sweetener Tour—five years of waiting, hoping, and rewatching those blurry concert clips on YouTube—but alas, she will not be hitting the road anytime soon.
So, where did this chaos begin? Blame Twitter (or X… or whatever Elon is calling it this week). Fan accounts started frothing at the mouth when they discovered what appeared to be a Ticketmaster page showing 15 scheduled Ariana events. I mean, that’s basically a fan’s version of winning the lottery and marrying your celebrity crush on the same day.
BUT HOLD UP. Cue Republic Records in their big ol’ label shoes, storming in like the parent who just turned off the WiFi. Their official statement went something like this:
“There are no plans for a tour next year, but Ariana remains deeply appreciative of her fans and all their continued love, support, and excitement.”
Translation: Sit down, kids. She loves you… but you’re staying home.
Now before you flip a table, let’s talk about why Ari’s dance card is full in 2025. Awards season is gonna eat up her calendar like a toddler with a cookie. Thanks to Wicked, where she plays the most glamorous Glinda since sparkly shoes were invented, Ariana is expected to snag a bushel of Best Supporting Actress nominations. You better believe the Oscars are in her future. (Mark your calendars, March 2—she’ll be too busy clinking glasses and posing for memes to worry about concert rehearsals.)
So, no tour next year, but at least you can still see Ariana in full wig, gown, and winged eyeliner on a screen near you. Until then, keep streaming “Into You” and practicing your whistle notes in the shower. We believe in you.
There are no plans for a tour next year, but Ariana remains deeply appreciative of her fans and all their continued love, support and excitement.
