Grande's team emphasized that while the tour has been a "wonderful experience," she desires a healthy and peaceful break. The announcement comes shortly after the release of her music video for "Petal," which, like much of her recent work, has fueled social media speculation about her appearance, weight, and health. Grande has previously spoken out about the pressures of constant public judgment, describing it as feeling like a "specimen in a petri dish" since her teenage years.
