Grande will step back from public visibility after the tour as scrutiny over her appearance intensifies online, her representatives said.

  • Public debate intensified following the release of the "Petal" music video, where scenes featuring a rejection note stamped "Not Good Enough" sparked significant online commentary about Grande's health.
  • Amid this scrutiny, Grande has backed out of a commitment to star in a West End revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Sunday in the Park with George."
  • Responding to the announcement, Grande stated the decision was "not a reactive or impulsive thing," claiming the negativity is not preventing her from enjoying her career moment.
