An 'Empowered Place'
A rep previously said that the singer will be taking a “step back” following her tour
As rumors and public opinion swirled following the announcement that Ariana Grande would be taking a “step back” after the end of her current tour, the singer took to the stage on Monday night to speak to her fans directly.
During her Eternal Sunshine stop at the United Center in Chicago, Grande paused the performance to “clear the air about a few things.”
“Sometimes when a story comes out that’s not directly from me, things can get a little blown out of proportion, so I wanted to speak to my fans directly tonight because I love you so much,” Grande said as the thousands packed into the venue cheered. “The announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing. It was something that I have decided. A plan that I had quietly made a long time ago. It was a decision that was made from a thoughtful and empowered place.”
