Ariana Grande is known for her powerhouse vocals, chart-topping hits, and sold-out tours. But as fans eagerly anticipate the next phase of her career, Grande has revealed she won\u2019t be hitting the road for her music anytime soon \u2014 and the reason is refreshingly honest. The Grammy-winning artist and Golden Globe-nominated actress is prioritizing her newfound love for acting, declaring that the craft \u201cfeels like home\u201d for her right now.<\/p>\n

Grande Focuses on Acting: \u201cIt Feels Like Home\u201d<\/h3>\n

In an interview with Variety<\/em> published December 17, Grande opened up about her current focus: \u201cI feel so grateful to the acting, and I think my fans know that music and being on stage will always be a part of my life, but I don\u2019t see it [touring] coming anytime soon.\u201d While her loyal fans might be disappointed by the news, Grande\u2019s pivot toward acting is a testament to her evolution as an artist. Playing Glinda the Good Witch in the Wicked<\/em> movie<\/a> adaptations has been a transformative experience for the star, who is embracing storytelling in a whole new way.<\/p>\n

The Success of Wicked<\/em> Fuels Grande\u2019s Passion for Acting<\/h3>\n

The first Wicked<\/em> film debuted in November<\/a> to critical and commercial success, with Grande\u2019s portrayal of Glinda receiving widespread acclaim. As the release of Wicked 2: For Good<\/em> looms in 2025, it\u2019s no surprise that Grande\u2019s energy is laser-focused on the role that has redefined her creative journey. \u201cThe next few years, hopefully we\u2019ll be exploring different forms of art, and I think acting is feeling like home right now,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Rumors of a 2025 tour gained momentum earlier this month when Ticketmaster appeared to list events associated with Grande. However, her label, Republic Records, quickly dispelled the speculation. \u201cThere are no plans for a tour next year, but Ariana remains deeply appreciative of her fans and all their continued love, support, and excitement,\u201d the label announced via social media.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean Grande is turning her back on music<\/a> \u2014 far from it. Her upcoming album, Eternal Sunshine,<\/em> promises to be a deeply personal project that reflects her growth both as an artist and as an individual. While fans won\u2019t see her on stage promoting the album in 2025, Grande\u2019s connection to music remains unshakable. She\u2019s even joked about staging performances in more intimate settings, saying, \u201cI\u2019ll perform at my mother\u2019s house.\u201d<\/p>\n

A New Chapter: Grande\u2019s Artistic Evolution<\/h3>\n

The decision to delay touring marks a significant shift for the singer, who hasn\u2019t embarked on a world tour since her Sweetener<\/em> era in 2019. That tour not only celebrated her album but also highlighted her resilience during a period of personal challenges. Now, with five years between her last tour and today, Grande\u2019s decision reflects an artist who is taking charge of her narrative and embracing change.<\/p>\n

For fans, this may be a bittersweet moment, but it\u2019s also an exciting one. Ariana Grande\u2019s refusal to be boxed into one artistic medium<\/a> is a reminder of her versatility and courage to follow her heart. Whether she\u2019s belting out anthems or enchanting audiences on the big screen, one thing is certain: Ariana Grande is always full of surprises \u2014 and undisputed talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42686,"featured_media":98348,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,3324,3292,16],"yoast_head":"\nAriana Grande Skips Touring in 2025 for Acting<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ariana Grande is pausing her music tour plans to focus on acting.
