Ariana Grande shades failed marriage with savage move during ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour

Article excerpt

During the opening night of her Eternal Sunshine tour, Ariana Grande made a pointed reference to her divorce from Dalton Gomez while performing "Thank U, Next," the 2018 breakup anthem that has become her signature song. The moment played into the track's central theme of moving past failed relationships with humor and grace. Grande has previously spoken about her split from Gomez, whom she married in 2021 before separating two years later. The performance suggested she's channeling personal experience into the song's message of gratitude for past lovers, even as relationships end.
