Ariana Grande Urges Fans to Cease Sending Hurtful Messages to Those in Her Circle Following 'Eternal Sunshine' Release

Ariana Grande has a heartfelt message for her fans following the release of Eternal Sunshine.

In an Instagram Story on Saturday, March 9, Grande expressed her disappointment towards fans who are sending hateful messages to the people in her life based on their interpretation of the album.

She emphasized that this behavior is not supportive of her and goes against everything she stands for. Additionally, Grande highlighted that these fans are completely misunderstanding the intention behind the music.

Please refrain from doing that," she continued. "It does not help me, in fact, it has the opposite effect. While this album may contain painful moments, it is also filled with deep, heartfelt love. If you cannot perceive that, I kindly ask you to listen more attentively. Thank you.

Eternal Sunshine got its name partly from the 2004 movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, featuring Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey, where the characters undergo a procedure to erase each other from their memories. This theme is mirrored in her music video for "we can't be friends (wait for your love)," starring Evan Peters.

Ariana Grande's new studio album, Eternal Sunshine, was released on Friday, March 8. The album is said to share Grande's perspective on her relationship with Wicked costar Ethan Slater and her divorce from Dalton Gomez, according to an exclusive source who spoke to Us one day before the album dropped.

The source mentioned that Ariana believes the songs on the album will offer valuable insights for her fans.

In June 2023, it was revealed that Grande, 31, and Slater were in a relationship. A source shared that the pop star and Gomez had quietly broken up after facing challenges for a while. Two years after getting married, Grande filed for divorce in September 2023.

Slater is currently going through a divorce with his estranged wife Lilly Jay. This has led to speculation about the timeline of his relationship with Grande. One source stated that Ariana and Dalton broke up in January, while Ethan was already separated from his wife. Another source shared that Ethan surprised Lilly by asking for a divorce just before news broke about him and Ariana. Lilly was caught off guard by the news.

During a February interview on the “Zach Sang Show,” Grande admitted feeling nervous about how her album would be received after releasing her single, “Yes, And?”

She shared, “I feel like we don’t need to go into any specifics, but, of course, there’s like an insatiable frustration, inexplicable, hellish feeling with watching people misunderstand the people you love and you and anything.”

"I'm feeling nervous because some parts of the album are based on real experiences while others are just part of the concept," she explained. "It's scary to think about how people will interpret it based on their own memories. But oh well, it's too late now. The vinyl records have already been made." Grande mentioned that Eternal Sunshine is her most "emotional" album yet.

Editor's P/S:

Ariana Grande's heartfelt message to her fans highlights the importance of respecting personal boundaries and understanding the intention behind her music. It's crucial to remember that the interpretations of the album are subjective, and sending hateful messages to individuals in Grande's life is not only hurtful but also goes against the values she promotes.

Grande's emphasis on the album's message of deep, heartfelt love suggests that it's not solely about pain and heartbreak. The title "Eternal Sunshine" symbolizes both the erasure of memories and the enduring power of love. By urging fans to listen attentively, Grande encourages them to embrace the album's emotional depth and find solace in its themes of healing and resilience. Her request for understanding reflects her belief in the power of music to connect and heal, rather than divide.
