Ariana Grande is feeling the love.
The "hate that i made you love me" singer, 32, took the stage at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Saturday (June 13) for the latest stop of her Eternal Sunshine Tour and shared an emotional moment with the crowd while expressing gratitude for her fans' continuous support, per Page Six.
"This is so overwhelming in the most beautiful way ever," she said, thanking the crowd "for being so loving" and saying she's "never in my life experienced a crowd like this."
Grande teared up while thanking fans for the overwhelming support that "means so much to me," joking, "You can't do this to me... You know what's gonna happen. You know I'm a Cancer."
The petal hitmaker reflected on the long journey of returning to performing live on stage and how her fans have been "such a loving, safe presence" through "all these chapters and all of these years." The Eternal Sunshine Tour is Grande's first since her Sweetener Tour in 2019.
"It's been seven years since I've been on stage in front of you all and you've stood by my side and supported me," she said. "I just have so much gratitude. And wow. Holy s---. Holy f---. Thank you."
The emotional moment comes after reports last week that she and boyfriend Ethan Slater had split after nearly three years of dating. Sources have claimed that the exes, who met in 2022 while filming Wicked and sparked a romance the following year, quietly split months ago but have remained friends.
"It's amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways," an insider told People. "They are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months."
