Ariana Grande cautioned her fans against targeting individuals in her inner circle following the launch of her latest album, “Eternal Sunshine.” The singer conveyed a message to her followers via her Instagram Story on Saturday, a day after the release of her seventh studio album.
In her Instagram post, Grande expressed her dismay towards those sending hateful messages to her loved ones based on their interpretation of the album. She emphasized that such actions were contrary to supporting her and completely misaligned with the album’s true essence. Grande urged her fans to refrain from engaging in such negativity, stating that it was not a form of support but rather the opposite.
Furthermore, Grande highlighted that while the album delves into poignant moments, it is interwoven with a profound and genuine sense of love throughout. She encouraged her audience to listen more attentively to grasp the underlying message of the music.
Following this, the Grammy Award-winning artist shared another post on her Instagram Story, expressing gratitude and love towards her fans.
“Eternal Sunshine” marks Grande’s first full-length album release in four years, succeeding her successful 2020 album “Positions.” The album’s unveiling follows Grande’s widely-publicized divorce from her former spouse, Dalton Gomez.
Grande’s relationship with the 28-year-old real estate agent commenced in January 2020, culminating in an engagement announcement in December of the same year and a wedding in May 2021 at their residence in Montecito, California.
Amid speculations about her romantic involvement with “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater, Grande parted ways with Gomez. While neither Grande nor Slater have confirmed their relationship, sightings of the pair together have fueled rumors.
Since the debut of “Eternal Sunshine,” Grande’s admirers have taken to social media to dissect the album’s lyrics, speculating on whether the tracks draw inspiration from her past divorce or alleged romance with Slater.
The album, partially inspired by Jim Carrey’s film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” remains a subject of analysis among fans. Grande has not explicitly disclosed whether her personal experiences influenced the album’s creation.
During an interview on “The Zach Sang Show,” Grande hinted that certain songs in “Eternal Sunshine” reflected her journey through a challenging breakup. She elaborated on the significance of acknowledging the complexities of relationships, emphasizing the importance of embracing the nuances of emotions rather than resorting to animosity.
Grande’s album “Eternal Sunshine” achieved a significant milestone on Spotify, becoming the platform’s most streamed album in a single day in 2024 thus far. Additionally, Grande is scheduled to perform as the musical guest on an upcoming episode of “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by Josh Brolin.
