Ariana Grande’s tour performance sparks controversy over her previous marriage
Ariana Grande has recently made headlines as she kicked off her “Eternal Sunshine” tour in Oakland, California, where a particular on-stage moment hinted at her past marriage. During her performance of “Thank U, Next,” the pop star altered the mood around a line referencing marriage, which has captured the attention of fans and media alike.
A viral video from a media source shows Grande smiling as she performs, playfully raising two fingers while singing the line, “Only wanna do it once.” This gesture has been interpreted by many as a subtle nod to her recent divorce from Dalton Gomez, suggesting that she remains open to what the future may hold in terms of relationships. The moment was especially resonant considering that “Thank U, Next” reflects Grande’s personal history, including previous relationships with figures such as Pete Davidson, Big Sean, and the late Mac Miller.
The performance has underscored the lasting impact of the song, which has been a staple in Grande’s discography since its release. Fans reacted enthusiastically to the live rendition, with comments flooding social media platforms expressing their admiration for Grande’s artistry and the way she navigates her personal narrative through her music.
Grande’s divorce from Dalton Gomez was finalized in March 2024 after three years of marriage. According to reports, the couple had a prenuptial agreement, and the terms included a one-time payment of .25 million by Grande to Gomez, as well as her agreement to share half of the proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles home. The decision to part ways was reportedly mutual, with sources indicating that they had experienced issues prior to their official separation, yet both parties wished to maintain a friendship post-divorce.
Notably, the “Eternal Sunshine” tour marks Grande’s return to the stage after a seven-year hiatus from touring. During her Oakland show, she expressed her excitement to reconnect with fans, stating that she had missed them and that it was delightful to see them again. Additionally, Grande is currently in a relationship with Ethan Slater, whom she has been linked to since the summer of 2023, adding yet another layer to a captivating and evolving personal narrative.
As Grande continues her tour, audiences can expect a blend of nostalgia and new beginnings, encapsulating her growth as both an artist and an individual navigating the complexities of life in the public eye.
