Ariana Grande has shared a fresh update on plans for her upcoming Eternal Sunshine Tour.

The singer, who is set to launch the tour in June, told E! News on the red carpet at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday that rehearsals for the shows will begin very soon.

“I've been working on the set list for months now,” she said while speaking outside the Barker Hangar in Los Angeles. “It's in a good place, but we'll never know until we get into the rehearsals, which are starting very soon, and we put things on their feet, if it'll make sense or not.”

When asked whether any Wicked songs might make their way into the live shows, Grande kept things intentionally vague, replying, “We'll have to see... TBD to be decided. I want to let it be a surprise.”

She added, “I am grateful to work and I'm excited for the tour.”

The Eternal Sunshine Tour marks her first run of live dates since 2019 and supports her 2025 album Eternal Sunshine. The 41 date tour begins on June 6 in Oakland, California, before traveling across North America through August 6. Grande will then head overseas for 10 shows at London’s O2 Arena, which will be the tour’s only dates outside North America.

Grande previously hinted that this tour could be her last for quite some time during an appearance on Good Hang with Amy Poehler in November.

“The last 10 or 15 years will look very different to the ones that are coming up... I don't want to say anything definitive,” she said. “I do know that I'm very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long, long time. I'm going to give it my all and it's going to be beautiful. I think that's why I'm doing it because I'm like, ‘One last hurrah!’”

The Into You singer was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Wicked: For Good at the Critics Choice Awards, though the prize ultimately went to Amy Madigan for Weapons.

Megan Thee Stallion Hospitalized After Getting Sick During Moulin Rouge! The Musical Performance

Megan Thee Stallion was taken to hospital after becoming unwell during her appearance in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Tuesday evening.

The Savage hitmaker, whose real name is Megan Pete, began her planned eight week engagement in the production last week, taking on the role of Harold Zidler. The show is currently running at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York City.

However, according to a statement from the production team, Megan had to step away from the show after she began experiencing health issues.

"During Tuesday night's production, Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated," a representative shared. "We will share additional updates as more information becomes available."

Meanwhile, Megan’s hairstylist Kellon Deryck also reached out to fans, asking them to send their support to the rapper.

"Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital," he wrote.

At this time, spokespersons for the 31 year old performer have not released any new information.

Megan has made history as the first female identifying artist to take on the role of Zidler, a character first played by Danny Burstein, in any global production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical.

"Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honour," the Hot Girl Summer artist said previously. "I've always believed in pushing myself creatively and theatre is definitely a new opportunity that I'm excited to embrace. Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling, but I'm up for the challenge and can't wait for the Hotties (her fans) to see a new side of me."

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is scheduled to end its Broadway run on 26 July, bringing a seven year run to a close.
