With a special 10-night engagement at London’s O2 Arena, Ariana Grande has finally brought her most recent tour to an emotional close, capping an incredible 41-show run.
The international pop sensation ended the tour on September 1, 2026, capping a significant live chapter centered around her 2024 album “Eternal Sunshine,” which also included songs from her more recent Petal project.
Grande’s farewell performance in London turned out to be a very emotional occasion as she thought back on the tour and the bond she had built with her fans.
One of the most heartwarming moments of the evening was when Grande nearly broke down in tears while performing “One Last Time.” She also took some time to thank her supporters for their support during the tour, calling it “one of the most beautiful, incredible experiences of my life.”
During the last part of the tour, Grande also persevered despite a slight foot issue. She took the stage in knee-high boots and performed the songs and choreography that were typical of her presentations, despite the discomfort.

In addition to the last night’s emotional significance, the tour was a significant commercial success. According to reports, the 41-show tour brought in over $107.9 million, demonstrating Grande’s ongoing success as one of the top touring acts in modern music.
Grande’s previous highest per-show average of nearly $1.5 million on the Sweetener World Tour was roughly 74% lower than the tour’s average of over $2.6 million each nite. Her average attendance of about 15,600 per show was also around 14% higher than the previous best.
With 179,000 tickets sold over ten shows, the O2 Arena residency was the largest single-venue engagement of her career, bringing in $27.7 million.
The numbers also show how much demand there was for her live appearances, especially after the release of Eternal Sunshine and her ongoing development as an artist.
Grande now has the chance to take a break from the rigors of touring and concentrate on what lies ahead as her career continues to be shaped by new music, acting roles, and other creative endeavors.
But rather than ticket sales or numbers, viewers will probably remember the September 1 finale for something more intimate.
On that nite, a celebrity stood in front of thousands of people, broke down in tears while performing one of her most well-known songs, and thought back on a trip that she called one of the most amazing moments of her life.
Even though the tour is done, the memories made over those 41 performances will last long after the last curtain has fallen.
