endless and constant public scrutiny
This decision also impacts her planned role in a London production of the musical "Sunday in the Park With George" next summer, where she was set to star alongside Jonathan Bailey. The production company, Empire Street Productions, stated they fully respect and support Grande's choice.
wonderful experience
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.
