Ariana Grande to Perform in Cozy Footwear After Foot Injury

Ariana Grande announced on Monday, August 31, 2026, that she will perform in "cozy footwear" during her final two London concerts after sustaining a minor foot injury. The pop star shared the update with fans via her Instagram Story ahead of her evening show at the O2 Arena, explaining that she is recovering from a deep cut on her foot. Grande, 33, told her followers she would need to wear comfortable shoes for Monday's performance and possibly Tuesday's finale. She clarified that the injury is not a sprain or muscular issue but a deep cut that is bandaged underneath. The singer reassured fans not to worry if they notice her without her signature heels or see her having some difficulty putting weight on the foot. "But please do not fret," she wrote. "On with the show and I am on the mend!" The timing of the injury comes as Grande wraps up her Eternal Sunshine tour, which began in June in Oakland, California. The tour has included more than 30 shows across North America before concluding with a 10-show residency at London's O2 Arena. The final performance is scheduled for Tuesday, September 1.
