Ariana Grande in speech at her Chicago show tonight while addressing her upcoming hiatus:
“I heard that my fans were worried that negativity was ruining things for me — but I just have to say that could not be more the f*ck opposite. This is not what that is. Multiple things can be true at the same time — Boundaries can need to be set, human beings can need a break sometimes. This will continue to be the greatest experience of my professional and creative life.”
Ariana Grande shares speech to fans following announcement of her public hiatus:
“The announcement is not a reactive or impulsive thing. It’s a plan that I quietly made a long time ago. It’s a decision that was made from a thoughtful and empowered place.”
Ariana Grande sets the record straight regarding her decision to take a break after the ‘eternal sunshine’ tour during tonight’s Chicago show:
“The announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing. It is something that I had decided to plan quietly a long time ago, and the decision was made thoughtfully […] I heard that my fans were worried that negativity ruined [the ‘petal’ era] but I have to say that could have not be more the f**k opposite. Boundaries need to be set. Human beings need a break sometimes. This [tour] can be, and will continue to be, the greatest experience of my professional career.”
my record store had a petal hat to give as a raffle prize after the listening party, but towards the end they realized someone stole the prize from the table LOL
