As August 2025 approached its end, celebrity pop-star Ariana Grande made an exciting announcement which left the global media—especially her teenage and young adult fans—shocked: Ariana Grande announced that the new tour Eternal Sunshine was in the makings. Though her announcement has brought excitement and thrill to the media, a majority of her fans are nervous about the tour. While many fans are excited in seeing their favorite, beloved pop artist, others are feeling unsure and hesitant. Back in 2024, Ariana Grande made a statement claiming that any future tours would be unlikely due to her working on set for the new movie Wicked. Due to the increasing rates of ticket prices, many of Ariana’s fans are feeling like they have no chance in snagging a ticket.
On August 28th, 2025, popular artist Ariana Grande announced her Eternal Sunshine tour. This was a huge news to her fans due to her originally announcing a tour would not be possible back in 2024 due to her participating role in the new move Wicked. “To be honest, I thought it was strange since she had been put on Wicked that new movie, so it was like how are you going to be on tour?” McKenna Hawkins, a senior at Hillgrove High School, stated. “It's not the serious, it is what it is, but I feel like she shouldn't have teased her fans like that.” She added, stating her opinion on Ariana Grande changing tour plans suddenly.
While Ariana’s announcement about her newest tour was unexpected, many fans were not so happy with ticket prices due to their controversially high pricing. “I feel like it'll only allow for richer fans to go, unless the can specially do something to go on tour, middle class fans won't be able to go.” Mckenna Hawkins explained. Tabitha Zapata, another senior at Hillgrove High School also included “I wish she knew we were not all like rich, but I also understand because she has not been on tour for a while, so she needs money to pay for everything. And since prices are so high, people are expecting a lot from her." Both students stated how the ticket prices may affect fans, limiting and preventing them from attending Ariana’s latest tour.
As news of Ariana Grande’s latest tour Eternal Sunshine spreads across media, fans are both experiencing excitement and a feeling of hesitance. As more fans rush to secure tickets and seats, others are feeling as if there is a barrier preventing them from securing a ticket themselves. As a result of the sudden announcement, it is certain that many fans are feeling a variety of emotions.
