“I’ll cherish this experience always. I have the best fans in the entire world and I always have,” Grande told the audience at the Sept. 1 show. She described the tour as one of the “most beautiful, extraordinary, experiences” of her life.

The 41-date tour ran through the United States and Canada before reaching the United Kingdom. Its final stretch consisted of 10 dates at London’s O2 Arena. Grande confirmed in August that she would take time away after completing her live shows.

A representative told People magazine that the 33-year-old singer would step back from public visibility after the tour. The representative said Grande wanted to finish on a high note, “both healthily and happily,” before taking a break from public-facing work and appearances, which had brought “endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”

Grande also told fans she had replaced her signature six-inch platform boots after cutting her foot. The audience still embraced her look, arriving in stilettos, cat ears and ponytails. The concert ended with a theatrical sequence in which Grande returned to a spacecraft and ascended toward a mothership in a beam of light.
