Ariana Grande closed out her“Eternal Sunshine”tour in London on Tuesday, and she left fans with more than just a farewell. The singer posted a black-and-white recap video on Instagram Friday that featured a passionate kiss with boyfriend Ricky Álvarez. The couple, who first dated in 2015-2016, rekindled their romance in July after Grande’s split from Ethan Slater, and the new footage has fans convinced this is the real deal.
The on-stage hints didn’t stop there. During the final concert, Grande altered the lyrics to her hit“thank u, next,”singing“Wrote some songs about Ricky / I’m tryna make him my last.”That lyric change has fueled serious speculation that marriage could be on the horizon. Grande also shared a heartfelt message with fans, writing that the tour experience“has meant more to me than words can possibly say.”
In addition to the romance news, Grande announced she is taking a break from public-facing work. She cited ongoing scrutiny over her weight as a major factor in that decision. With her upcoming film“Focker-in-Law”still on the calendar, fans will have plenty to look forward to while she steps back. Do you think the lyric change is a sign of an engagement coming soon, or is she just having fun with the moment?
