Pop superstar and actress Ariana Grande has confirmed she will skip the upcoming Actor Awards on Sunday, March 1, despite being nominated for her acclaimed role in Wicked: For Good. The 32-year-old singer-actress is choosing to focus on preparations for her highly anticipated Eternal Sunshine tour, which is scheduled to kick off in June.
The tour, which Grande described as “going to be beautiful” during her appearance on Amy Poehler’s podcast, Good Hang, is shaping up to be a major event for fans worldwide. She referred to the tour as a “one last hurrah,” adding that it might not happen again for “a long, long, long, long time,” emphasizing the significance of this moment in her career.
Grande is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role, competing in the same category as last year for the sequel to her movie. Wicked: For Good has received nods from the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globe Awards, but its omission from the BAFTA and Oscars lineups left many fans surprised.
Despite missing the ceremony at Shrine Auditorium Expo Hall in Los Angeles, Grande remains focused on delivering an unforgettable tour experience. Fans can expect high-energy performances and special moments that celebrate her career as both a singer and actress. With rehearsals in full swing, Grande’s dedication to the Eternal Sunshine tour highlights her commitment to connecting with fans before the summer launch.
