Ariana Grande's Low Profile: Wicked, Eternal Sunshine, and Personal Growth

Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ariana Grande has been keeping a relatively low profile these past few days despite her continuing impact across music, fashion and beauty industries. The pop superstar notably skipped the 2025 Met Gala on May 6th, despite her Wicked co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Jeff Goldblum making appearances. Cosmopolitan reports she's likely maintaining a lower profile following the recent release of her "eternal sunshine: brighter days ahead" deluxe album and accompanying short film.

Grande was last photographed in New York City on April 28th with boyfriend Ethan Slater, supporting her best friend Liz Gillies at a Broadway performance of "Little Shop of Horrors." The trio was captured backstage by photographer Vincenzo Dimino.

In major career news, Rebel Music confirmed on May 14th that Grande will not be touring in 2025, information she first shared during an April Instagram Q&A. She cited her filming commitments for Wicked as the primary reason, stating: "I don't think I'll be able to do shows for this album due to my filming schedule."

Grande's "Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead" continues performing well commercially after debuting at number one. Her beauty brand R.E.M. Beauty launched its "starlet" collection on April 4th, and she's currently serving as the campaign star for Swarovski's 130th anniversary "Metamorphosis" collection.

On May 22nd, fans celebrated the fifth anniversary of her hit collaboration with Lady Gaga, "Rain On Me," with commemorative posts across social media platforms.

Most recently, The Hollywood Reporter published an interview where Grande reflected on her Wicked role, saying: "It's been such a deeply healing gift to disappear into this character—to take off one mask and put on another." She described this career moment as transformative, adding, "I was like, 'Oh my goodness, I love this person underneath the drag.'"

Looking ahead, Grande is preparing for promotional activities around "Wicked: For Good," with the film adaptation representing what she has called a "dream project" and "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
