Global pop sensation Ariana Grande has offered her fans a tantalising update on her long-awaited return to the stage, confirming that rehearsals for her upcoming Eternal Sunshine tour are set to begin imminently.

Tour Update from the Red Carpet

The news came as the 32-year-old singer attended the Critics' Choice Awards in Santa Monica, where she was promoting her film Wicked: For Good. Despite her cinematic focus, Grande took a moment to address the excitement surrounding her live music comeback, her first major tour since 2019's Sweetener World Tour.

"I’ve been working on the set list for months now. It’s in a good place," Grande revealed. She added a note of anticipation, telling E!

The star insisted on keeping the show's details under wraps, stating, "I want to let it be a surprise. I am grateful to work, and I’m excited for the tour."
