Ariana Grande plans extended break from the spotlight after tour

Ariana Grande is hitting the pause button on her public life. A rep for the singer told People she will be taking a "step back from visibility" after finishing her Eternal Sunshine Tour, citing "endless, ongoing public scrutiny" as the reason.

As part of this break, she has also dropped out of a planned West End revival of the musical "Sunday in the Park With George," according to TheWrap. The star is effectively clearing her schedule for a significant hiatus.

No timeline was given for her return, but it's clear Grande is prioritizing a major step away from the public eye for her well-being.
