Grande wraps up North American leg of Eternal Sunshine Tour

Pop star Ariana Grande concluded the North American leg of her Eternal Sunshine Tour in Chicago on Thursday, August 6, with a heartfelt message of thanks to her fans as she prepares for the tour's final shows in London. The 33-year-old singer-songwriter wrapped up the first phase of her tour with the third of three performances at the United Center.

In an Instagram post following the show, Grande expressed profound gratitude to her supporters. "I love you i cannot believe that this concludes the north american leg of the eternal sunshine tour," she wrote. "I am overwhelmed with love and the deepest gratitude. thank you endlessly for the most special, beautiful, joyful and deeply fulfilling few months... thank you, chicago. london, i cannot wait to see you soon. i love you all more than ever."

The tour now moves to London's O2 Arena, where Grande is scheduled to perform 10 shows beginning August 15 and concluding on September 1. These dates will mark the end of the Eternal Sunshine Tour, after which Grande plans to step back from public life. Her representatives announced the decision last week, describing it as a "much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances."
